At first I thought Yoda had his fingers in his ears. Made me lol.

I like how it looks like Yoda is copletely concentrated on the street performers music and the black man is completely oblivious to it and is listening to his own thang. Its a cool contrast

To me it looks like Yoda is trying to Mind-Trick people into donating to the guy.

have you ever heard of the street photographer Matt Stuart? He has an amazing portfolio of street shots (usually in b&w) that looked staged but aren't, he just spot's things no one does until they see the camera shot.
This shot is extremely similar to the works he does, it made me think of him. Excellent find!

Mark-Allison In reply to Erulastiel [2012-09-28 14:16:55 +0000 UTC]

No I haven't but I will certainly check him out online now that you have mentioned his name and the type of work that he does. Thank you very much mment, it's very much appreciated

please do, his work is (as far as I have been able to find) unparalleled (: here, this is the link to his website [link]
the comment is well deserved, as was the DD. I hope to see other great pieces from you.

Yonda is my favorite hero!!! When my son was born his ears were too big for his head and the first thing I said for him was "He looks like Yonda!!!"

frosidi In reply to Mark-Allison [2012-09-28 14:42:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes, they are. Although we still call him Yonda sometimes (and as he's only 3 years old he gives that look that says "Are you crazy people? That's not my name lol lol)!!!

I'm not sure this needs a tighter crop, since you can't easily tell whether the passer-by is wearing headphones or ear defenders.

I know, that You may have go for the composition and the traditional format, but when using such name, I would cut to square with artist and Yoda only to put more focus on the 'message' that too loud he is. This is only my personal opinion, no offense.
Wish You good luck and good light.
