Love your B & W shots. We walked past this gent only just 3 days ago. I love all the buskers in Melbourne. We have none where we are. The city council won't allow it. I think they need to be kicked out.

Really? Wow. You should see around Christmas time. Buskers everywhere doing Christmas carols.

Yeah, their pretty backwards, but I guess when the population is only around 80,000 here, I should expect that. Seeing buskers doing Christmas carols would be wonderful. I'm getting tired of the canned Christmas carols the stores play. Would sort of make Christmas special again.

Love it you definitely have an ability of taking good urban people shots. This one came out really well, the only suggestion I might make is to somehow help focus the shot on him, as he seems to blend into the background a little too well. Of course, that is almost always out of your control when doing urban shots.

Wicked job

Thanks. I only managed to get two shots of him before I moved on. I think both came out a tad blurry. =\

Maaan this guy is annoying!! I was buying something from a shop about 5 meters away, pretty much next door, and we had to listen to his whining!! Argh!!

Haha I wasn't actually listening to his music. Just looking.

Oh, that's interesting! I've only seen people playing instruments outside in the downtown district of our city, but it's nothing so nice-looking as this~ <333

You should come. It's almost summer holidays. Well...in a couple of months. I have to go through exams to get there.

Ahhh, I wish I could, but it's quite far away and my parents will be wondering why I'd want to be there. XDDDD

Maybe someday after college, I can visit all my friends in Australia, hm?

Man, you do some swell people in public shots! Nobody around here is okay with it unless i pay them money .

MattLew In reply to zato-dragon [2007-09-27 01:07:02 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot. People ask you to pay money? That sucks. I've only heard about that happening here a few times. Usually everyone is really friendly because there are always tourists everywhere taking photos.

zato-dragon In reply to MattLew [2007-09-27 16:14:26 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, yea our town is definitly not a tourist town. It's an odd area. But at least the scenery doesn't ask for cash!

Keep up your awesome works!

Or maybe it was his... TWIN!

MattLew In reply to csln [2007-09-27 01:08:11 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah that xanga comment made me think twice about uploading this photo. I was lik "I swear I uploaded it and someone said something about seeing him somewhere..."

But now I know it was you and on xanga.
