Dunedin, New Zealand, some years ago. The boy playing clarinet got his audience. My registrating, documenting camera made his face very concentrated. Performing is a serious thing, collecting money is a bonus. Of course I put some coins in his box, this was great.
Now I think about the moral when giving money away. There could have been for example a drunk, poor maori man asking for help. If there had been any I had thought twice before giving my coins. A wealthy boy playing for fun, no problem. A poor, dirty man and I have to think about it. Shouldn't a poor, needing man get twice? Without thinking.
