Only In New York...
Today I started to shoot a "pic of the day". On my lunch break I took my camera with me along 5th Avenue en route to 5 Guys Burgers, which very well may be the best burger in NYC. I was looking for something to grab my eye amist the sea of tourists. On my way back with my lunch in hand I saw a homeless man. Pictures of homeless people always fascinate me because of the pain the photos emote. What caught my attention was the large rat he had perched on his shoulder, kinda like how'd you see a parrot. I gave him a few dollars and asked him if I could take a couple of shots. He agreed. What happened next made the scene. He had asked me if I had ever seen anyone put a sword or a snake in their mouth, things of that nature. I told him, yes, but only on television. He said "Imagine combining those ideas with a mouse" Yes, he then proceeded to stuff the mouse (rat, that thing was huge!!!) in his mouth. I snapped away as he posed and flung him around like a toy in his mouth and in one motion right back onto his shoulder. Great shot, I just wished I had finished my lunch first! This is Saturday's pic. Tomorrow is a new day and this will be hard to top.
