I caught this aging busker near Portland's (Oregon) Saturday market, complete with patches on his pants.

I'd be willing to bet you that this aging ole busker goes home every night grinning from ear to ear at the money made that day and also, I bet he doesn't know what an income tax form is either. I love the cfharacter in that facer. If you can go back to where he is, I'd love to se a closeup of that weathered face. Great capture. This is a genine slice of life you have shown us.

I feel sad looking at him, but PatAndre is probably right about him going home with full coffers at night. I used to play one of these things. Maybe when I'm retired and living on a pension, I'll have to give this a try. Maybe I should do it now! Thanks for presenting this unusual scene.

Wow Nice capture, this is some good people shooting :) only If I was you I wouldn't take him in the center of you picture and tried to respect the 2/3 rule. You can put the man more on the left because the left side of the pictures has nothing to show and looking at the background behind the small wall, it seems that there is a lot of activity.
But still big picture with a lot of character, verry high quotations from me.

Good quality character study! I could'nt help noticing he looks like the comedian Pat Paulson (ran for President years back-more as a joke). Maybe this is Pat! Made me think so, because of the hat and American flag. Love those patched pants! I hope this guy is'nt really down on the skids.Thanks for this interesting people image..anymore? :))

I was just browsing through the people gallery when I saw your upload.There's a real dogged determined look on this busters face, & I imagine he's very proud of those patched trousers. :o) He's a real character, & I trust you tipped him after taking this fine shot Sir. :o)

Big brother's watching you :o) A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... Welcome to the last resort. :o)
