Heteroclite.

Cellist and listener in Paris

John Althouse Cohen took this picture in Paris in 2005. It looks better in the enlargement, which you'll see if you click on the picture. What's with the post title? Click on the picture!

It took me several looks to realize that only the leaner against the lightpost isn't black and white. I'm not sure what that means.

Hey wait a minute. That's a young John Kerry in 1970 on that cello!

Not fooling me.

"Heteroclite: Deviating from the ordinary ...."

That makes the in-color onlooker the heteroclite, and the urbane aesthetic cellist the metroclite. All we need is one more sign.

Cello. Bringing the color of life to those who listen. Sweet!

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Look! Observe! See!

"Look! Observe! See!"

It's the word on the building behind the young man with the helmet. No doubt a shop of goods that deviate from the ordinary.

John-

I don't know anything about photography, how did you achieve that effect?

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Terry wins.

"How did you achieve that effect?"

The effect of sitting erect whist engaging in cello playing has been a staple of music instruction going back many years. His demeanor suggests a devotion to doing only cello playing rather than winking, sqinting or making animal noises. Someone else took on the responsibilities for the photo.

truly: Did he sing as well, by any chance?

JAC: No, he was playing a Bach Cello Suite.

Me: He must not have known the words.
