i'm guessing this guy in the plaza de armas in santiago was supposed to be some kind of tribute to the chilean miners. he was one of those living statues who stay really still for ages, usually waiting for some unsuspecting kids to wander up and stare, before making a sudden movement trying to illicit a scream. i must be too old, as he didn't move when i went up with my camera. however he was a perfect subject for my 50mm lens as it's a socially acceptable situation where you can stick a camera in a random person's face and take a picture.

here's the original
