A few pictures of a buddy of mine who is a musician. He loves his music but it's not paying the bills. He will die trying though.

What do you guys think? I wish I would have removed that cup before taking the picture of him with the guitar.

I prefer the second one. The grainy feeling and slightly soft look makes for a sad yet romantic statement. The cup in the foreground gets quite obstructive and would try to crop it out if possible. Not sure about the lamp in the background.

I tried cropping it out. Takes away a lot from the picture, ruins the balance. I appreciate the comment. Thanks!
