The wizard is back. And I agree with pLusOne, he looks really sad, or maybe exhausted by the exhibitions

@Dara: Yes, they are nice. thank you, Dara.
So you DID find the Wizard.....or is it from the first encounter?!I must admit that the man has lots of imagination which is well reflected in the eclectic attire...he even has sunglasses!!!!!! A good portrait! But did you tell him that what he uses might be toxic?
9 Mar 2008 2:26am
@Japanalia: I didn't want to worry him especially about the toxic body paint. Thanks, Gabriela.
great catch - this man is dressed very impresive

Great portrait Michael! I'd generously tip this man for his effort. And you have great stories in your blog, I've always wanted to travel and write about my experiences. :D

@Ken: I hope you are able to travel one day. thanks, Ken.
you certainly get the feeling that this man could really tell some stories. I think you have captured the essence of his history well in this study.

Wow! I was wondering what the wizard and these other statue people would look like *on the job* and now I see. Amazing! This portrait of the wizard statueman all but breathes.
9 Mar 2008 6:27am

Excellent capture. Great details!

@standley: Many thanks, Standley.
Yay! I'm glad the wizzard reappeared - I wanted to see him in a full length shot. Perhaps the bleary eyes are from silver paint poisoning!
Dan
10 Mar 2008 2:50pm
@drphoto: Thanks, Dan. Silver paint and perhaps Johnnie Walker poisoning as well. I think he'd been on a real bender the night before.
A wizard with sunglass? ;) The tale is mixibg with modern! Nice composition!

@Porcsin: He's very original in his dress. thank you, Porcsin.
Excellent Michael. I am amazed at these performers and their outfits. This one in particular has a lot to him in his hair and clothing. There are similar street performers down at the beach on weekends, I have been curious what paint is used. Especially on their skin. Nice to see a fuller view, great shot.
10 Mar 2008 11:13pm
@Barbara: Yes, the paint could be toxic. Thank you, Barbara.
wen i read bout the statue man in ur post a day b4 this one, i dint realise wat exactly it is that they do.. i havnt ever seen a statue man n so im glad to have come across ur pictures.. thanx for sharing!
12 Mar 2008 3:13am
@Nishana Minhaz: Thanks, Nishana. They just stand like a statue and people watch them and give them money.
a magical pic! That looks like a heavy costume
13 Mar 2008 10:26am
@Elisa: I agree. Must be terrible on a summers day. thank you, Elisa.
I've always wondered if there are any long term adverse health affects from having that paint on the skin. I suppose they get away with it because it is only covering a small part of their body.
13 Mar 2008 8:42pm
@Twelvebit: I wondered the same. thank you, 12bit.
