I selected this photograph to represent Iconography because I remember being captivated by his eyes. To every passer-by, he would ask for spare change. When I walked up with my camera, he began to play slowly. I shivered, witnessing a familiar look given to me through his eyes. Certain, yet soft, his eyes spoke of loss. I felt sadness instantly, within my heart. I believe that emotions can be iconic, if they deliver a message recognizable to you, even as you do not expect it. I was his audience, and his performance carried more meaning past the notes he played.
