Sultan of Swing

An accidental first attempt at street photography, albeit in the country. I walked down to a little stream to try to find something nice to shoot when I spotted this guy walking along the path playing his guitar. It's not something you see so often, but I was too self conscious to poke my camera in a stranger's face so I went back to photographing the stream. Suddenly a questioning voice behind and I turned to see the wandering guitarist peering over my shoulder to see what I was shooting.

We got talking and he said he played to sort through problems in his head. Eventually I asked him if I could take his photograph and he played Sultans of Swing while I snapped.
