Back to the '60's

Got back home last night from our few days holiday and have been running about all day. Instead of taking a photo today, I have decided that one day a week I will put a "people" photo on my 365. This one I took a while ago of a busker in Newcastle who I have seen a few times. He can't sing and he can't play the guitar, but he is such a character. He seems to be stuck in a bit of a time warp. Apparently he is an artist and I see him whenever I go to my favourite second-hand book shop in Newcastle and to the art gallery. He always has a chat and this particular day I took his photo. If anyone sees him, put some money in his tin because he is a lovely chap.
Wonderful shot! He can't play, he can't sing but it isn't going to stop him! What a character!

I hope I am in good of spirits as he is when I am older. I love this candid portrait of him.

Good capture. He can't sing and he can't play the guitar, he should come over here he'd be a big star!

I love this portrait Babs, the light is just perfect, and you've captured his essence well.

What a fabulous character!

@steampowered You are right. Nobody will stop him. He scuttles off to a new spot if the police wander down the street though. He really is a character.

As long as he is happy, it really doesn't matter that he can't sing or play!!!! Its characters like this that make the world an interesting place to be.

@joluise Absolutely. I usually manage to pick up the eccentrics and when I first saw him my husband said "We're not taking him home are we"? This chap is really lovely though.
