Mime Critic?

You don't often see street mimes these days –at least not compared to the past when they seemed to be on every street in Europe. Now you're more likely to see human statues or jugglers. Perhaps mime moved elsewhere? Or just went out of fashion? Or perhaps it was looks like the one on the face of the man walking past this white-faced entertainer that sent them scurrying. I was delighted to capture the line of communication between the mime and the elderly man -their look and the body language. The mime seems to be beckoning him, perhaps to take part in his act, but the man is having none of it and I love the suspicious look on his face.There's really a double performance going on here. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the old man didn't cast any money into the pot on the bag as he passed! Location: Amsterdam, Holland
