Description
When you think of Philadlphia, Ben Franklin is often one of the first things that comes to mind. So, I thought this humerously summed up Philadelphia pretty well (although it really doesn't come anywhere close to summing up PhiladelphiaI met this guy while he was waiting for a bus near an art museum. He thought he was Ben Franklin. I set him straight though. He's now successfully employed making Philly cheese steaks where he still occasionally pretends the bread roller is a 1700's printing press.

I could have gotten better focus on the subject, but he was in a hurry to get to Independence Hall so I had to make it quick.

He looks a bit out of focus to me, but then I might (must) be wrong. Anyway, the theme and this guy's expression are excellent, really, quite funny too.

He looks so nervous...
Looks like he wants to get away from this place running as fast as he can.
This is a great shot...congrats!

I'm glad you put this one up. Apart from anything else it's funny. I guess it's the juxtoposition of old Ben F and his clothes and that stunning modern architecture in the background.
The buildings look a little sloped, but I guess thats an effect of the composition. i.e. the sloped road and portrait format. (Am I being to picky? - Probably - Sorry).
If I'm ever in Philly I'll be looking this guy up for a cheese steak
