The Cellist

Photographed by on

A cellist sits on a folding chair in the middle of the Große Ulrichstraße pedestrian zone, playing his instrument with deep concentration. Beside him, the open cello case awaits donations. A woman with a shopping bag pauses to listen — behind her, the shop windows of the fashion store "24COLOURS" and the tram tracks threading through the bustling shopping street of Halle's old town. ISO 1600 betrays the pale winter light of an overcast January day.
