As soon as I saw this photograph, I knew he must come from Eastern Europe. And I was right! He looks so glamorious! I really like portraits of older people.

okay, not quite an accordion but it looks like it would work in much the same way. i play so when i saw it i was very excited.
the story behind this is really fascinating.
wonderfully composed and focussed.

This is beautiful, it reminds me of a story I read about a young girl and her german father who played the acordion (The Book Thief). Amazing work.
