Street Recorder Player: A Glimpse of East London Life

I made this image from a photograph I took on a Sunday morning in Cheshire Street, East London. As I was walking towards the market on Cheshire Street I noticed this woman who was walking towards me playing the recorder. She was completely oblivious to her surrounding environment and focused on the notes she was playing. Did she take the recorder out with her to play or possible she’d just bought it, second hand, at the market. If it was newly purchased was she reliving her school days when she had recorder lessons? She appeared to me to be in a different time zone.
