Description He's a street busker in Orchard Road. From the time I started shooting in this street 3 years ago until now, I almost always see him doing his stuff. He was my first good street photograph [link] - the first one that didn't look like an ordinary snapshot - the one where I thought to myself "Hey, I can do this thing."

Doing this portraits project, I couldn't pass the opportunity to take his picture once again. Amongst all the portraits of strangers I've taken, he was the only one I allowed to give up those pearly whites. Could you have resisted this smile?

Now, whenever I pass by him, I always give $2 as a sign of gratitude for being my first good street shot. And whenever he sees me coming a mile away, he would always wave at me, smiling. One time, he even noticed that I lost weight

I love seeing photos like this. It really draws out that saying "A Picture paints a thousand words" I see pure happiness on this mans face.
I absolutely love your work and the stories that go behind each one. Keep it up!

He looks like a nice guy. Great shot, great focus, light, and colours. Only thing I think could be better was if we also could see the very top of his head. Otherwise I think you should crop the the photo in the middle of his forehead as you have done in your other portraits.

Looking at this makes me soo happy. Most portraits I see like this are goofy and will make me laugh but this gives me a very genuine happy feeling.

I gave 5 dollars to a woman that offered herself and her (baby) dog to get photographed. She was also a street busker. She was so sweet. Here it is if you want to see it:

I would have actually given her more money if I had. It was an amazing experience.
