About Recently back from Thailand where I was there shooting the street life. (still editing the images but will upload some soon - promise!)
Life there is worse than I had expected although the people do not complain about their folley but instead accept it as charma for their mistakes both past life & present.
The image I posted here is very recent and the story goes ~

I was on my way to meet Rab, a homeless friend but It turned out that I had just missed him so I went to speaker?s corner to see what was happening there. There was a demonstration to commemorate the martyrdom of the Imam Hussain A.H, I managed to get a few pictures before being warned and told to leave it was on my way back under the underpass I saw this man busking. The song was a Don MacLean classic ('American Pie') sung in what can only be described as a cross between Dillon & Cocker manner and while everyone that passed gave him little or no notice I was mesmerised. He was brilliant! I waited for him to stop and then gave out a solitary applause. (I was standing otherwise he would have had an ovation too!) I scratched deep into my hungry pockets searching for some jingles to give to Mr. Jangles. (No, it was not his name!) He was an American about the same age as myself, he was a traveller and a street survivor and I must add - Passionate about his artistic ability
I hope our paths cross again as I would like to get to know him as he seems both interesting and well natured.

Regards

Great atmosphere.Whatever little expression that can be made out from his profile in sil shows the involvement and intensity of his vocation.

Hugh, took a peek at your portfolio and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Your pictures all tell a story but your words add so much more...This one really grabbed me. Perhaps its the color but it's evident that this man is lost in what he is doing too. Reminds me of a time I was on the R train in NYC. I'd only been in the city a few months and I went past my stop. I was getting a little nervous when this homeless man entered the car I was in. He stoped in front of me and sang "Your Once, Twice, Three Times the Lady" by Lionel Richie. He then took out a harmonica and played "Green Sleeves". He took my mind off the sinking feeling of being lost teaching me a valuable lesson...we are never lost...keep your eyes and ears open because you are right were you are supposed to be.

Kind regards,
megan
