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.
John Althouse Cohen. Thats your son. How come he has your last name as a middle name?
Hey wait a minute. That's a young John Kerry in 1970 on that cello!
Not fooling me.

Althouse is my mom's last name; Cohen is my dad's last name.
I had to look it up.
Heteroclite: Deviating from the ordinary; irregular or abnormal; anomalous.
This doesn't help me know how this applies to the picture unless it's the color/monochrome mix. That seems too simple.
If I remember correctly, Ann posted another one of John's photographs with the same sort of mix. I think that it was a blue vase on a restaurant table.
I'm really bad at this sort of thing. I think I'll stick to engineering.
It looks like the man is about to something of an eleemosynary nature.
Really, perfessor. I, for one, am shocked.
"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!
The cellist looks like the blind opera singer they're always showing on PBS (Andrea Bocelli, I think). Did he sing as well, by any chance?
Excellent posture, by the way!
Look! Observe! See!
Did he sing as well, by any chance?
No, he was playing a Bach Cello Suite.
"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?
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.
I wish there could have been a cat sitting by that street light instead of color boy...
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.
