Mixing with the locals.....
I saw this guy whilst driving through a small town in New Zealand, he was busking to make ends meet. I got talking to him and exchanged this shot for a small contribution.

Hope you enjoy

Cheers

Great shot, love the expression on his face and the markings. Works really nice in black and white too.

Cracking shot and composition. I think the expression or rather the lack of one, enhances the photo beyond what one expects.

Great portrait. Love the emotion conveyed in this one, works really well in bw. The facial markings are extraordinary.
