This is a very old picture I made in the late '70. It was made with a Chinese Seagull 6x6 TLR.
The negative got lost but a friend of mine found a paper enlargement and gave it back to me recently.
Here is a scan with some PP in SilverFast.







The original scan looks like this:

Thank you.

Yes, I remember very well the morning I made this photo. It was a refreshing early summer morning with a very nice light and he was singing an old French chansonette in the Cofetaria Crizantema central zone of Constanta. The music, the light and his detached-from-the-world smile matched together very well, in a kind of magic atmosphere. That feeling is what I still remember.
I took more photos of him that morning. In some of them the poster behind him could be better seen and on it is written "Un pahar cu sifon"("A glass of soda"). That text, somehow, was in consonance with his quiet humility, too.

He sang there French chansonettes all the summer and became a familiar presence in that part of the town. When, one day, he vanished I kind of missed him. The soul of the city became a bit more barren.
