"Wanna see something cool," he said., a photo by Wanderfull1 on Flickr.

"Wanna see something cool," he said. "And it makes for a funny photo, too."

When I showed him this shot, instead of the one he was expecting, he said it was "the best photo of me, ever. Gotta put it on my Facebook page. Can you send me a copy?"

The kid said he was a busker poet, that he was performing that night at The House Cafe in Kensington. He asked if I would do a video of him performing. I told him I couldn't that night, but if he emailed me his next gig date I would see what I could do.

I gave him one of my cards, but I've yet to receive an email from him.
