on duty

I made a frame of this guy when climbing up the stairs to the Prague Castle today and despite it looks as a portrait, it is much more about the life on the street

He was sitting in the pose of prayer, head tilted down, hands touching each other in front of his chest. I gave him a coin and asked if I may take a frame. To my surprise, he did not reflected I am Czech - instead of his native czech language he answered in english and started to make poses like a model I took 2 shots, said Thank you (in czech), he asked me if the shots are ok (in english again) and invited me to evening party with his street-mates somewhere (of course in english) ...

He had some 6-7 coins in the box when I added mine. When going back some 2 hours later, he just emptied his box, leaving 2 coins in it and put himself in the prayer pose again ...
