If you travel, or live in a major city, you've probably seen one of these living statues, a method used by many performers and beggars to make some money. They coat themselves in color, wear costumes, and stand motionless until someone gives them money, then they move and perform to the crowd's delight. However, most of us have never seen more than a few of these performers. When you check out the following photo series, you might be astounded to see the creativity, variety and effort that go into many of these costumes, and how beautiful these living statues can be. |
