The boy with the violin / #monomad challenge / [ING/ESP]

avatar


The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.


I didn’t hear him at first—only noticed the way the light clung to the white of his cap and danced gently on the curve of his glasses. Then came the music. A trembling thread of sound weaving through the afternoon dust, winding around benches, old stones, and timeworn trees.

He stood there, young and still, in the chaos of the city’s noise. And yet, his notes calmed something in me. He played not for applause, but for presence—for the simple act of making beauty appear in the middle of it all.

I asked if I could take a few photos. He nodded with a soft smile, still cradling the violin like a secret too delicate to speak of. In his expression there was focus, maybe even a quiet kind of defiance.

Talent like his doesn’t shout. It lingers—long after the music fades, long after the shutter clicks.

Al principio no lo escuché, solo noté cómo la luz se aferraba al blanco de su boina y bailaba suavemente en la curva de sus espejuelos. Luego llegó la música. Un hilo tembloroso de sonido que se deslizaba entre el polvo de la tarde, rodeando bancos, piedras viejas y árboles gastados por el tiempo.

Estaba ahĂ­, joven y quieto, en medio del bullicio de la ciudad. Y sin embargo, sus notas calmaban algo dentro de mĂ­. No tocaba para el aplauso, sino para estar, para hacer que la belleza apareciera en medio de todo.

Le pedí tomarle unas fotos. Asintió con una sonrisa leve, aún abrazando el violín como un secreto demasiado delicado para hablar de él. En su rostro había concentración, tal vez incluso una especie de desafío silencioso.

El talento como el suyo no grita. Permanece, mucho después de que la música se apaga, mucho después de que suena el clic del obturador.

Esper les gusten. Gracias por pasar.

Not only am I fascinated by your post because of the quality of your photographs and the subject matter—a violinist on the street, letting the vibrations and sounds reach people like magic—but also because what you have written about how you felt and how you perceived that moment is poetic. I rarely read anything so beautiful; these are words from the heart.

You were able to capture, despite the glasses, the gaze of that boy who was only seeking to fill the streets and people's hearts with pure beauty. Both of you are artists and poets. Excellent, very good work!

No sólo me fascino tu publicación por la calidad de tus fotografías y por el tema, un violinista en la calle, dejando que las vibraciones y los sonidos lleguen a la gente como magia, sino que lo que has escrito acerca de lo que sentiste y de como persibiste ese momento es poético y pocas veces leo algo tan bonito, son palabras del corazón.

Pudiste captar, a pesar de las gafas, la mirada de ese chico que sĂłlo buscaba inundar las calles y los corazones de la gente de pura belleza, ambos son artistas y poetas. Excelente, muy buen trabajo!

It's always good to find these motifs on the street, and music is also conveyed through photography.
