sweet sounds on the streets of DC

John Thornton

Canon 6D, EF 24-105mm f/4L IS, ISO 400, ƒ/4, 1/2000

One of my favorite shots from our time in Washington this past July. John Thornton has been out in front of the Washington Mall for at least the past decade. He plays out of an old Hymnal; but appears to know pretty much everything he plays by heart. You can listen to him play via NPR: http://www.npr.org/2012/06/30/155989687/a-lone-trumpeter-serenades-the-national-mall
