COPPER COWBOY

This guy is a mime, but I swore he was a statue from a distance. He didn't move at all until you put some money in the basket :-) This was a period where he was moving. What, you guys didn't see something like this today?

Nikon D50
1/2000s f/6.3 at 90.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

This is actually my cousin. His name is Jason Gilbert. Right now he can be seen performing on 36th street. Between 5th and 6th.

Aha! hope he's not getting tired of his pose and most specially his face sucked in :) Vote.

LOL at crina... that was a great response. Funny, no, I didn't see this today. I must not have been looking carefully. Good capture

excellent attitude - I would like to be the same - do nothing(in my job) until I see the money - might try this strategy on day.

I dig these guys. They are silver in SF. And a little ornery.

They are amazing. Don't know how they do it so well! Good capture.

Amazing outfit and expression! V

The color really looks like a bronze! Your choice of POV with a such side light is perfect.

I have seen alot of these street performers, mostly painted in silver. But this is a nice catch in copper. ~V~

I love these statue performers, very good at what they do, or don't do.
Good shot, Kent!
Jay Levin17-Dec-2006 06:41
You have my vote, Kent. It's the first one I've seen in the U.S. V Pretty cool.
