Photo of the Day (05.31.10)

I'm not one to spend my tourist dollars on street performers and schlock like grains of rice with my name printed on them. But I've always kind of been amused by the street artists who draw portraits of eager travelers looking for a customized souvenir to take home. I was always partial to caricatures. Maybe it's because the genre really seemed to peak in the 1980s (which would explain why 88% of all caricatures involve rollerblading or extraneous headbands). Flickr user Flavio@Flickr perfectly captured the moment when this artist imperfectly captured this man's image.

Have a picture a perfectly artistic moment? Or even an imperfect moment? Submit your best travel images to Gadling's Flickr group and we might use one for a future Photo of the Day.
