Get Pushed Round 54 - A Stranger Portrait

My push was from wingardium leviosa. and was to do a stranger portrait similar to Humans of New York.

I am late with this push as I was absolutely terrified of approaching a stranger, but I finally managed to approach this lovely man and ask to take his picture. I had a chat with him, but also did a bit of research on him from home.

This is Joe Castellana, also known as "King of the Zufolo", a name given to him from a performance on Rome TV. He has played his zufolo a simple bamboo flute all over the world, in Italy, Canada and all over Australia. He is originally from Sicily but now calls Brisbane home and he often busks in the Queen Street Mall. Joe is a great entertainer and has appeared on "Australias Got Talent" and he even has his own biography which I think would be an amazing read.

Thanks for the push Anna, I\'m not sure its the greatest portrait, but I did enjoy meeting Joe and it certainly pushed my boundaries.
