A violin player was in Park Street Station playing some fast and flawless Bach. The people watching him had formed a horseshoe. One man caught my eye in his dirty old clothes because he was taping the performance on a golden iPhone. I don't know where the man came from, but his appearance suggested a life on the street, and the contrast to his shiny cellular was comical. He started on one end of the horseshoe and panned his camera all the way around the circle, stepping carefully so as not to disturb the shot. When he'd passed in front of the whole crowd, he tapped the screen to exit video and stepped onto a train in one fluid motion. The train carried him right away, as if on cue.
