MAGICIAN II

This is one of my favorite street performers in NYC. I caught this expression in between his normally jovial ones. He draws nice crowds, but on this day there weren't many people around. I think this expression is a worried look reflecting the realization that meager earnings were to be had from this show. Even worse, it had rained most of the prior two weeks.
