Sally Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Congratulations on your win, Andy. A good choice of topic. There is no shortage of buskers in Edinburgh during the Summer......or at least that used to be the case. All taken during festival season.

Regis Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Congratulation for having such a good photograph in the last Challenge Ed. And now going through my images on Alamy I found only three photographs that could relate to this month theme... So here they are and sorry if two of them look a bit alike... Young girl playing saxophone under a bridge: Buskers at the market 1: Busker at the market 2: Good luck everyone, it is nice to see photographs of people having a good time.

Betty LaRue Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The subject eliminates me, but interesting photos here. I took photos of a few buskers way back in San Fran, but that was on film. One of the guys looked like a pile of straw on the sidewalk. Jumped to his feet beside me and gave me a heart attack. I wasn’t putting anything in the kitty for that! If I had not been the victim, and got a laugh at someone else’s heart attack...maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeCee Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Well done on your win Ed, utterly cracking photo! Good choice for this month's competition too, I'm lucky, lots of buskers here in Sidmouth, particularly during Folk Week. Stunned by Michael's picture of the "Cat Man" - don't ever see my cats earning their living, their main contribution being the odd dead mouse. Anyway, three buskers from me ... Cracking band this lot... 😀 This guy fires pineapples into the air -catches them on a helmet spike. Everyone needs a hobby. Dancing/singing busking duo.

Ed Rooney Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Good grief, I see about 15 winners. And the others are not bad either. In for a penny, in for a pound. I hope somebody will contact me soon with the way to setup the voting page—I haven't a clue. 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Standfast Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 My three. 1. Mr Burroughs, he will tell you stories about the problems of being a chimmney sweep in victorian days. He was a bit miffed about the change in the law stopping him from sending children up chimmneys to clean them. He was at pains to to point out that he was always kind and would never light a fire to get them to hurry up, well almost never... 2. This chap went by the name of Crash Metal. Seen in the Buskers natural habitat of Stall Street Bath. 3. Gary Millhouse busking on a quiet day in Bath Abbey courtyard. Some of these guys seem to do it just for the music, put your ear to the screen, you might just hear some Bach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Sky Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 This is great. But what is the criteria one goes about choosing winning batch? Is it most outrageous looking busker? (ie "La Rambla" above?) Is it something beautiful (ie "My Avatar" painting)? Is it photo that really tells the story, or is it what appears technically most polished? My fav so far is that Witch by Sally. Which doesn't necessarily mean I'll vote for it should it make the final cut. I also learned what "busker" stands for & enriched my metadata library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you judge the busker or the image? Edo will have a tough job on his hands. However, I get the feeling that he really knows his buskers. 🪕🎷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
