Hilarious, great shot!!! Happy Xmas!!!

That is one serious beard! Strangely it does not really match the shorts and t-shirt. It really is unseasonally warm there. Still as long as he is festive what else matters.

Nothing works better than humour for collecting change from shoppers! Nice funny portrait.

Best wishes of this crazy season to you, Sam.

Well I'm sure he'll have it working for tonight. He never fails.

Amazing character. Good shot, great find.

What a cute santa! I hope he could buy a new one.

This guy does look like a mix of Santa and an old biker. Merry Christmas!

What a perfect shot for Christmas Eve!! The image is so clear I feel I am standing right in front of him. Too bad I am not, cause I'd like to contribute to his fund as well. Thanks for this bit of "joy" Sam.

Oooh, his kicks are a bit too blown out for me. I'm not sure if the sacrifice of detail to achieve a good white was worth it.

I think it's a great picture BUT I hate to be humbug, I think this guy is a scam. I'll bet his Harley is parked around the corner yuk yuk. Look at his arms and legs, this dude is perfectly "fit." He has a perfectly printed sign, made on a computer and his money box is a custom machined Plexiglas assembly. I don't know Santa, you're so cool, your shady!
Hope I'm wrong, probably I'm just jealous of the awesome beard, yuk yuk..
Anyhow, Merry Christmas and Good Luck to you!

What a skeezy leech!

There was a guy dressed up as the grinch walking up Yonge yesterday smoking a ciggy and I thought of this page and hoped you caught him.

Portret with impact.. I think this ( www.dweaf.nl)
is the opposite of you're picture...

Happy Christmas!

he reminds me of Gandalf on the Lord of the rings

Posted by Ben Nicholson at December 24, 2006 10:31 PM

Fabulous! Love the short pants and white sneakers!!!

Posted by pixels.in.my.head at December 25, 2006 12:35 PM

Great capture!

Posted by Alice at December 26, 2006 09:24 AM

Thanks, Sam. What a hoot, and what a shot. Pay no attention to "JVL." The sneaks can be more or less detailed- it doesn't change the photo. Happy New Year!

This guy is usually at University and Dundas, just outside my office. He's been there since last spring. I've never really spoken with him, but I always get a hello every time I run past (usually 3-4 times a day).
