Description
street performer Sylvain, (aka Piko) puts on one hell of a show.to watch a artist working with the crowd is awesome, you never know what is going to happen... my cheeks were sore from smiling and laughing.
a young girl, of five or six, comes from the crowd to shake hands... it's a special moment, you watch as a smile spreads over her face and her bright eyes dance...
all i could say was awesome.

Beautiful story my friend....his eyes have such an intelligent amusement and the make-up makes his facial hair stand out (nose and eyelashes), but beautiful facial shot. Such personality and warmth

i should have known you'd be doing the make-up thing. : )
hehe, wonderful to see you my sweet make-up artist, when you get here i will take you with me everywhere, and when we require make-up... well!
thank you fine my friend. : ) always a pleasure.

haha not my fault that I'm opinionated...OR IS IT
Psshhh no one ever required make-up, it's not like food or shelter, but I get the jist.
Well, there are some places I'm technically not supposed to be, but that's never stopped me before :evil:
Haha well you shall have to share me with my

fantastic picture, very very nice!
i must confess i don't like to take photos of clowns, because they inspire me kind of pity... sorry
yet, i'll continue watching all your pictures of clowns

potablava! i have such great news, you see, he is mime!
you know i had never really thought about that before, clown vs mime... but i believe they are different.
in my mind i see clowns as somewhat children's entertainment, where as i see mime as more of an art form.
mime is a performer who has mastered the use of the emotion, expression, and movement, the kind we use everyday.
the difference being is that they use their art to show us who we are (in an entertaining manner).
hmm... i may need a lot more time to think about this. : )
i thank you my friend, and i am happy knowing you will be watching me. : ) cheers.

you are quite right, he's a mime, not a clown. and that makes a clear difference.
i have seen some in Barcelona too, and think it's a nice form of art, not easy, actually.
yet, your picture is so realistic and strong, that i can't help feeling kind of chill when watching his so expressive face...
great shot, my friend, really impressive

catching life is always so rewarding... and you caught it, once again, ken!
nice story, indeed.
once more, a formidable portrait. colour here is a plus to the perfect composition and expression.
again, congratulations for that wonderful lens..., and for your so clearly watching eye, my friend.

hello PixMad, : ) thank you my friend, and i share your good words with Sylvain, his professionalism is how this shot came to be.
i must tell you, i was shaking at the time... trying to be quick and good at the same time... lol, it's too much. : ) but he gave me the time.
and yes, the lens too... i'm very happy with it. perhaps i should have used an iso of 400... ?
as always, a great critique and wise words, thank you friend.

when one such subject is found, one must shoot and shoot, as you did, no matter light, iso or whatever else. chances sometimes are unique... (and said with a 'small mouth': i feel kind of -healthy- envy when i see those great shots 
as far as the the closeup shows, you WERE quick and good at the same time, and he luckily gave you the time.
no, i don't think a higher iso would have made any (big, if any) difference. to me, it's a perfect catch, with a perfect light.
again, that portrait reinforces my feeling about 'human landscapes', you know.
cheers!

indeed, the human landscape... a wonderful thing for the photographer.

Isn't it great to see someone dedicating himself to bringing joy to others? This is amazing, great one, Ken!

it truly is, and it was a great moment for me, and i feel i was very lucky to be there.
not just because i laughed and had a good time, but i also have the photo, and it will take me back to that day whenever i see it.
thank you sweet lady. x

You look into his eyes, and you see his life. . .there is beauty, there is laughter, there is warmth.
Absolutely fantastic!

so true Raven, so very true, this man is full of life, and energy, tons of energy.
it's very interesting to watch that kind of energy being controlled by a performer; seeing them sending it out to the crowd and then gather it back in...
thank you my friend. : )
