Cyborg, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Magnificient Mile Chiacago, the Robot Man:

This is a man painted in silver who moves and makes sounds like a robot.He can be found at the Michigan avenue performing for passers by.Tourists and shoppers watch awestruck when he moves like he has been mechanically linked all over and also makes noises like moving machinery.Most of them pose for a photograph like this young lady does and leave a tip.

One can try to imitate him by making moves like him, but I doubt if one can douse themselves in silver paint.It is surely hazardous.

Magnificent Mile is a mile long avenue a part of Michican Avenue which is renowned for its beautiful landscaping and desiner shopping paradises.
the road sides are cleanly maintained and filled with flower beds and beautiful plants.Considered one of the most expensive places at chicago.

Chicago 's Magnificent Mile is a shopping district of world-renown. Shoppers can enjoy magnificent department stores and boutiques comprising a diverse mix of American and international style. With over 460 retail stores, there is something to offer every style.

Apart from shopping,Theaters,Architecural spots Roadside Cafes and Beautiful parks are an integral part of the Magnificent Mile and not to mention the Night life.

Hi Vikram,
I have very much respect for the new artist everywhere in the street of the cities, lovely contrast between the black lady and the gray colour of the robot man.
Happy Easter Vikram,
John

Hi Vikram, A well capture of the street scene. Living statues are popular in most of tourist crowded area in many countries. It is interesting to see the visitor enjoyed taking photo with the robot down the busy street. Good shot. The blurred cars show that the cars were moving fast in contrast to the still statue. An interesting and fun picture.

This is a great daily life shot, Vikram. The contrast between Cyborg and the fast moving cars is good, but my eye is also drawn to the the pedestrians in the background. You have managed to include a group of sailors in uniform and the other men seem to be wearing their own 'designer' uniform - with compulsory long shorts. Well seen.
