busted!  by summerfield

busted!

this was near the market. he was singing "house of the rising sun" and i just had to take his photo. there was a lot of shoppers so it was difficult to get him without being photobombed. i wanted to catch his face, too, but didn't want him to see me. and just as i pressed my shutter, he turned and sort of paused. ooopsy! i went inside the market and bought something. when i came back out i had to pass him again, he was looking at me intently so i threw in a $5 bill in his guitar case. damn, i should've asked him for his name he could've been my stranger #8.

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.
Great capture. Yes, you should have asked him. You're getting good though.

@sarasdadandmom - i was. but i didn't mind. at least he's doing something to earn his five dollars. thank you, terry.

@lesip - maybe or maybe not. but since i got a good shot of him, i didn't mind. thank you, leslie.

@henrir - haha! thank you, henri. if i see him again, i would definitely ask him.

The processing is great, and he deserved the $5. I love it when there is a reason to do that.

Great candid shot! How kind of him to glance your way as you take the shot. I would also have put money in his pot!

Wonderful street shot and processing. That was very nice of you for giving him $5, most people just walk by without even looking!

He sort of looks like the actor from SNL who used to play Father Guido Sarducci. Weird I should think of that because I never liked that character and stopped watching the show shortly after he appeared (but not because of him). Anyway... I like this shot! Great capture and cool processing!
