I drove down a large city street. I don't recall where I was going, but I remember seeing this silver-coated man! It struck me as surreal. Who was this man covered in silver, from head to toe?
I quickly found a parking spot, put money in the meter, and grabbed my camera and ran down the street to catch up with the man. When I rounded the corner, there he was! I caught up to him and, trying to catch my breath, introduced myself.
He told me he was a street performer and that he was just taking a break. I politely asked him if I could take his picture. Like others before him, he obliged me.
The challenge was his silver-painted face. "JAMBOT" was his street name. I knew that his bright silver face would cause exposure problems for me, so I asked him if he wouldn't mind standing underneath a nearby small store awning. As he did that, his face turned silver and red! The underneath part of the awning was painted red, which reflected on JAMBOT's face! Wow, what a bonus! Click.
