Gold

She is one of the most innovative people I have seen when it comes to asking for cash ;) Painted in all of gold paint, for an instant I thought it was a statue. But then when she moved mechanically, blinking her eyes, I realised what was happenning :P. She got lots of cash off me :)

I've never seen anyone do anything at all like this--very innovative! Doesn't look very comfortable though...

I've seen this act at festivals and around for a few years now and I am always amazed. What is equally amazing is how long folks will watch them just to see a tiny movement. You probably didn't need a fast shutter speed?

@ ronalyn & rock: thanks :) she sure did deserve my change :P

@timurilenk: when i put my cash in, it was already half full :O

@ satz: driking water.... Hmmm.. that would be a nice shot.

@lara: not sure abt comfort. guess she might have been used to it by now!

@gn bassett: if i had used a fast shutter speed, then the sun would have over exposed this shot!
and yes, i agree with that, floks just stand and watch. and when u do that, u mostly do end up giving some cash :)

These people are great. I have seen them on Bourke Street in Melbourne and they are just amazing. I think in terms of asking for cash, they come right after people painting of the streets.
