Crazy New York City

VIETNAM | Friday, 9 May 2014 | Views [191] | Scholarship Entry

My first real night night in New York City. It was 8 o'clock and i was crossing the busy street down downtown Manhattan. A man singing behind me, his beautiful melody followed me. I turned around and smiled at him. He smiled and kept singing his love song. As the song faded out, i gave him a hi-fi. We started the conversation from 'where are you going' and where are you from. And so on and so on and so on.
We kept walking and talking. He was a 40s year old black man, whom introduced himself as a loner for more than 20s years, without a real friend and a real soul mate. He leaded me through the night and the streets of Manhattan. He sang me New York, New York and Empire State Of Mind. I could say he could make money out of his voice.
Could you believe that we walked from 00:00 to 4am? He told me the story of NYC, and i told him my story of Vietnam.
I decided to take out my camera and shot him, i didn't wanna lost this moment:
