The Sleeping Entertainer

While walking across the overhead street bridge from one casino to another I just couldn't pass up this shot. I decided when I left the hotel I'd challenge myself and put the 50mm on the camera. Okay it's super light compared to my other lens and I was going to give my shoulder a break. I had to practically stand (knee) with my back against the other side of bridge in order for all of him to fit in the frame plus wait for the split second that no one was walking in front of him. It would have been a little awkward if he's woken up but he slept right through it. I did add a dollar to his gold bucket. His whole outfit from head to toe is gold but I needed a b&w pic for flash of red February .
It's hard when you have to back up to gut shot in frame.Nice sleeping golden child :-)!

I really like the B&W and the story this picture tells. Makes me wonder what he's listening to on his break. Great shot

Excellent image that is a portrait and tells the story! Fabulous timing to get it with no people too!

I think you did a great job with this shot, and the story of the other side of this business of entertaining on the street.
