I know this guy! - we learned how to unicycle in front of someone's house in Flagstaff,, AZ years ago! I'm not kidding. Some guy named Jay-Mo that always had lots of people over and lived by the liquor store (Jalisco's, now called O'Leary Street Market), he was teaching like 5 of us how to ride his unicycle..

He was really nice, i gave out my 12 pack of PBR and so he got me all sloshed off his bottle of Black Velvet. I was a lot younger and probably acting/talking like it, but he was totally cool to me and generous. Right on!

Hello! I have just started a new group called the Tag Match Group
the idea of the group is to connect pictures based on tags.
This picture matches one of the tags of the latest picture, please join and post your picture!
Hurry and post before someone adds a new picture to the pool, although that means that there are a whole new set of tags to match!

Some kids tattoo their faces because it makes them legally unemployable in some states, allowing them to collect welfare/unemployment automatically. But this is the most dramatic facial tattoo on a street kid I've seen. This is a beatiful shot and creates many questions, as so many of your photos do. It's beautiful.

very striking shot, for all the reasons mentioned.
-especially noteworthy that there's a high level of comfort between yourself and your subjects; he seems almost too serene, but even though he's young, the lines are already starting to form around his eyes.
great detail, exposure, everything.

Very good looking guy, don't understand why he did that on his face though, expressing himself I guess. He may have grown a tough exterior, but there is a great softness & human kindness in his eyes. U definitely caught that!
Very nice shot.
