I Encountered this man in Pecos, TX just after Christmas 09. It was a cold windy day and he was singing and playing his heart out. He was'nt asking for money and only received it after I insisted. He said his name was Richard A. Spadaro. He gave me some of his poetry that he had written, thanked me and went right on singing. I'm glad to have met him.

Wonderful capture, Eric. I've always admired these street performers for their tenacity in performing in all kinds of weather - whether for money or not.

Thanks for the story Eric, you have captured Richard well here.

You isolated him from his background well.

It's amazing sometimes to realize that people with what we conceive as having less are happier for not having more. Makes one wonder, doesn't it.
