street performance

[DoctorIt]

So I made a trip down to Boston last weekend and happened upon a street performer in front of Fanueil Hall / Quincy Market. Very entertaining:

This is him trying to knock a quarter off this man's head, with his yo-yo:

wow, somethin went wrong with that last post... continued:

Here's another, not of the yo-yo guy, but probably the best shot I took all day - obviously, unplanned and random:

So I am reading your post and I scroll down and read "wow somethin went wrong" and I get this mental image of a person in a light blue shirt lying on the ground bleeding from his head from a Yo-Yo trick gone wrong. I dunno it struck me as funny. Hmmm must be my dark side.

Some fun stuff, Erik. I reckon with some cropping (!) some of the shots in the gallery could also edge closer to the top of your list. I'm thinking about this fellow:

that last "fella" is yoyo-chick. She was a cutie. :wink

Planted in the audience too, so she gets up and pretends to not know how to yoyo at all, then 3 minutes later, she's whipping them around her head. It was fun.

Stopped to talk to them for a bit after the show. Real cool couple, engaged, they do this for a living. Just goes to show the different ways you can live your life.
