She Plays for Pennies

In the streets of Venice, Italy, a young girl plays
her accordion on a narrow street opening up
onto a square, as people walk by barely aware
of her presence. I saw the remarkably open
expression on her face, both welcoming and
sad... a memorable moment outside of normal
attractions of the city.
