My Friday people this week is Kevin a street entertainer working in Castle Square Lincoln yesterday, he said he only comes to Lincoln 6 times a year and travels and performs in most cities in England, Kevin's a classically trained guitarist, he teaches guitar and performs on stage, only doing his busking on his days off, buy the way it was only just above freezing all day yet he was smiling and performing for a few hours.
@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel he was smiling through adversity it snowed about 30 minutes after this shot, went back after it stopped he was still there playing his guitar so took his portrait will post it on my extras later:)
@cottiac Thank you for your comment Cottia, he looked such an interesting character the way he looked and dressed I just had to take the shot it would have been rude not to:)
Great stranger shot Peter! What a mass of incongruous details in this image. A tux and workboots, fingerless gloves, modern and classic, talent yet street - love it.
@onewing Thank Babs I suspect he had a base layer thermal on as his shirt was a little to bulky but still a brave man to sit and play in those conditions:)
he's a hardy soul.. thermal underwear or not, sitting still will sap the body's heat in no time. he's quite dapper in his suit and bow-tie.. the big boots, i suspect, allow for multi-layering of socks.. he's a performer and performed well for you in this lovely shot of this amiable guy.
@jorlam Thank you for your comments they are always appreciated, his good humoured approach to the conditions shone through as we chatted the cold didn't concern him at all, he had been there from 10:30 am and was still there after 1:00 pm when I returned to take the portrait shot:)
