    Wow, this is a statue or a real man?
    Very good photo, I like the shadow or painting (?) on the wall too.

    Wonderful that you caught the shadow of the street lamp too. It really adds to the mime theme.

    Doug, you made me laugh all the way from SC. You are so witty. I love the all gold shot and the "Brother, can you spare a mime?" made me laugh out loud.

    That fellow goes all out to equipment himself to attract attention and some money. I hope that makeup is easier to get off that I suspect it is. An amazing sight to see!
