El Chapo? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 214)

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Several years ago, while walking around Philadelphia, I was startled by a man popping out of a hole in the street.  It was during the time that Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" was on the run after escaping from prison via a vast tunnel network. The scene seemed unusual and funny as I took his picture and said, "I found El Chapo!" I don't think the man saw the humor but it made me laugh.😀

If you don't remember or haven't heard about it, here's a news article about "El Chapo." Click

  Link reflections and/or street photography.

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

That's funny but I have to say he doesn't look very impressed.

Sorry, I linked the wrong post - delete the art galleries one as there's no reflection!
