Pirate Patina
A gold-painted "pirate?" crosses the street in front of Faneuil Hall in Boston after a long, hot day's work. These street performers paint themselves (and their costumes) and stand completely still - living statues. In NYC, you'll see a lot of Statues of Liberty, for example. In Boston, they tend to be colonial-era and 19th century.
Myself, I find them a bit creepy, but to each his own.

Great expression you caught! And cool patina idea. I saw one of these "statues" get on the bus about a month ago and I had a double/triple/etc/blatently staring take... So so strange to have a statue on the bus. :)
Nice shot, Steve :). We have these street performers in our tourist areas too (like Fisherman's Wharf)
