I decided to go back to Chinatown because during my wanderings, I passed by a bakery that had some amazing looking desserts. (The Audrey Bakery and Cafe at 12 Chatham Square in case anyone is interested.) As I was walking out of the bakery, I step to the side to turn my camera back on, when all of a sudden, I hear a familiar loud singing. I think to myself "No way it's the same guy", but as I turn towards the sound, I see that it is indeed the man himself. Here he is, in all his singing glory.
I was told when I posted this video on my Flickr page, that he was singing in a dialect called Toi San and that he was singing about wandering around and searching for something to eat. I was tempted to go back to Chinatown the next day and see if I could run into him again.
Since this was last week during those icy cold days, I took very few shots before my numb fingers and toes forced me to go back home. The majority of them did not make the cut, but then again, even on a day with good weather that is usually the case.
I was going for a shot of the man, but as usual, I hesitated too long and the woman turned around and caught me, but I actually like this shot. I think it's because the woman has that something that makes an interesting photo. The leather cap on top of her red hair is, in my opinion, a better shot than it would be if I had gotten the shot that I had originally wanted.
