"Hold My Cigarettes"
Jerusalem, Israel, 2015
***
Outside Jerusalem's "First Station" (the defunct train station, recently renovated with shops and restaurants) sits an old decrepit piano. I was examining it, considering how best to photograph it. Just then a worn, wrinkled woman carrying too many things surprised me. "I'll play you a song. Hold my cigarettes." She placed the pack near my face, and I took it. Then she gently tapped out a few notes, and I snapped a photo. She (and the piano) could still play. She flashed me a huge smile, retrieved her cigarettes, and left.
