Dean Allman travels out of state in order to capture his Denver photography where he zones in on regular musicians and pianos on the street. The pianos are multi-colored and encourage people to sit down and play their best tunes.
The pictures are clear as can be, where you feel a part of the musical environment. Within the photos, there is also a street artist performing his violin with his case open on the side. In one photograph, a man plays the piano as people walk across the other end of the street. These photos show an interesting approach in getting people to make music with an audience around them.
Sometimes you have to travel to see what other cities are doing in order to bring people together, and Dean Allman does just this. The work is inspiring and makes you want to go home and play a little music yourself.
