Description
Sure I smelt the marijuana... maybe it wasnt him.Adelaide Street, Brisbane City.
This guy is here often. He hoola-hoops for money. At his feet, he has made a sign. It reads:
"I am 72 years old and was injured during the Korean war 55 years ago. A bullet went through my leg. You can see if you like. We fought against Nth Korea under support from UN forces. We are now trying to be reunited as 1 country. My dream is to establish a church and to draw the people of Korea to God's fold. I've been saving and collecting contributions all around the world for this purpose. Your generousity will glorify God as it helps the furtherance of his work in union with Jesus. Thankyou and God bless you, Elder Paik".

im going to find him and give him $100

good luck!
however, giving him 100 would probably tip the economy over the edge

theres a guy in melbourne who looks exactly the same as that, or well similar, with his hula hoop twirling and trying to raise money for something. He always attracts a very big crowd. This is a very nice shot though, you have captured it well.

haha dude, this guy is in melbourne aswell!
i guess he really does get around collecting funds
but yeah, i quite like this capture
i think that is one of the only recent daily deviations ive seen that is worthy of being a daily deviation
you just captured it so well, his mood, his huge smile, and the surroundings
great composition and nice focus
black and white works well with this shot
congrats on the dd man

Congratulations, an Incredible work!!!, hmmm i have a question, How much time do you take for the shot? Do you take it easy, or just adjust the camera before and then you take the picture fast?. i ask you because i'm searching for tips of Great Photographers
See ya and congratualtions.

I really really like this. I wish I could say more, except that it gives me this big smile and a warm fuzzy feeling ^_^

This is true beauty. The composure and expression of the subject's face was truly a moment worth photographing. The differnce between this and any other photo is the fact that you know what you and doing, and it clearly shows the work of a real pro.

Top left corner looks like it needs to be dodged abit, alittle to bright. Woops, forgot it was a digital image. Oh well. Cool capture anyway. Congrats on the DD.

That man looks like a very interesting character, and you've captured him absolutely perfectly. Instafave.

He looks like such a lovely man; so full of genuine joy, yet at the same time, his clothes hang so loose on his skinny frame, no doubt from lack of food.
