Description

This was a candid shot taken on March 18th 2002 in Times Square, New York City. On a day when it was 34°F (or about 1°C) with a mild drizzle, our friend here was strumming away to glory. There were droves of women lining up to be photographed with him.

He's known (as his jockeys proudly display) as the Naked Cowboy - and yes - he has his own website!

All the women who were passing by were dropping tips for him - any idea where he kept them all? Get your mind out of the gutter already!!!! He kept all his tips in his boots!

This picture just screams "WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY!"

This shot was taken with a Polaroid 2300Z - no retouching of any kind has been applied.

Lol! Trust you to capture a picture like this- it's hilarious! The concept, the pose, the sense he's in mid song.....

I think perhaps the picture should be cropped on the bottom a little- where the horizontal line in the concrete is down the bottom of the photo. Other than that, I think this is great! *claps*

I think it's funny how those people crossing the street don't pay any attention to him.

Excellent composition. The indifference of the crowd is wonderful. :)
Ahhh....New York, New York.

I dont know if "Naked Cowboy" is some sort of expression or actually his (artist)name, but I think this is a very funny and nice "documentary" pic :)
And a good capture.

The overall shot is very good but I can't help wondering if there's a bit too much space at the bottom of the picture with nothing in it...Keep up the good work.

ONLY IN NEW YORK!
New york was home for me for around five years, this image just brought back some of the memories of the city where you would definately see something strange freaky or different on a regular basis. Nice capture.
P.S He should change his name to the undies cowboy!
