michael jackson.

The same day in the park I've been posting from recently granted me a great little performance by an unconvincing Michael Jackson impersonator.  He definitely could've used more energy because the crowd surrounding him wasn't clapping and joining in, but laughing and pointing and soon-after walking away disinterested.  He also kept his face covered most of the time, so I was unable to get any real expression (if he had one) captured, but it was still fun to photograph though…

good book.

This is what I did during the four and a half hours in the park yesterday.

accordion in the park.

I was actually on my way out of the park after having been there for four and a half lovely hours reading and eating fresh fruits and veggies from a farmers' market when I passed this lovely gentleman playing the accordion. I kept walking for a minute before I realized that I'd just passed up a wonderful portrait opportunity, so I wheeled my bike around and unpacked my camera.  The gentleman stopped playing and shyly fixed his hair before resuming the song again.  He seemed a bit unnerved about me taking his photo, but in a good way that granted me the timid smile you see in the photo.
