Artist's Comments
This is Mike. I noticed his hat and Santa Claus beard from across the street and knew I had to pluck up the courage and approach him. Not the Santa we're used to seeing, eh?
I chatted about this being my first Christmas in Australia and the novelty of seeing Santa hats on a sunny summer's beach. I asked if I could take a photo. He said that was fine and made an attempt to tidy his beard. I got 3 snaps. I offered to buy him lunch but he seemed happy with a few coins in his box - for his next beer perhaps. He then produced a second hat from a plastic bag - brand new - and offered to sell it to me. Who knows where he got them. But how could I refuse? This photo is dedicated to ^rhapsouldize and her amazing street portraits that finally motivated me to just pluck up the courage and ask.  Acland St, St Kilda, Melbourne |

 reports, 1d 13h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
