The Performer

I saw this interesting guy who was very  animated & performing along the street for passing  traffic.  I took a few photos with my phone and then decided to ask him for a  portrait.  He agreed and here is the result.

Joaquim

After a great dinner at our hotel in Lisbon, there were leftovers that I did not want to be wasted.  After successfully being able to help a homeless person the night before, I sought out the same result this evening.  Being later at night, I had to venture further from the hotel to find an area with more people around.  Walking down a well lit side street, I came across a gentleman rummaging through some waste bins by a nearby restaurant.

I approached him with outstretched hands holding the boxed remains of a ribeye steak.  His eyes lit up when I offered him the food and he gladly accepted it.  He did not speak English and understood enough Spanish when I asked him his nombre?  He went into his knapsack, pulled out a piece of paper & pen and proceeded to write out his full name, Joaquim Rui Lourenço Farinha.   Handing me the paper, he shook my hand profusely and kept saying “obrigado, obrigado”.  I held up my phone and asked if I could take his photo to which he agreed and smiled widely when I showed him the picture.  I also gave him 2 Euro.  As I departed we shook hands again and he began to open the meal.

Lisbon, Portugal

After a walking tour of three Lisbon neighborhoods, I was making my way back to the hotel through Alfama.  This gentleman gave me permission to make his photo and didn't change his expression or position one bit.
