  2. Arms Wide, Knives Out

    The audience at Covent Garden really appreciated this knife juggler. He’d just been throwing knifes in the air above the body of a willing volunteer. I’m not sure if I’d have volunteered!...

  4. The Crowd on Pana

    A huge crowd gathered around a man on stilts holding 3 flaming torches on St. Patrick Street, Cork in 2006. See how homogeneous the crowd is? A similar photo today would show a much more diverse set of people in modern Ireland.

  14. Juggling Knives in London

    I love that this street entertainer is wearing such bright and distinctive clothes but I wish his knives were brightly coloured. Still, the reaction of (some) people was worth it even if the background is too busy to see the knives properly.

    Knives. He’s juggling knives over the head of a tourist lying on the ground. That could have ended badly, but people who perform in Covent Square are really good.

    Street performers must audition for their spots in Covent Square through a formal licensing system managed by the local authority. Performers are allocated specific time slots and locations, with the most desirable pitches going to those who demonstrate the highest skill levels and ability to manage crowds safely. The system was introduced to maintain quality and safety standards after the area’s transformation from a working market to a major tourist destination in the 1980s.

  15. Copper Cowboy living statue at night in downtown Toronto. It was so dark that night I walked past him. My wife had to point him out to me. Good he wasn't  moving. On my #D500 crop I needed to go to iso 8000, 1/30th at f3.5.

  20. Thanks so much to everyone who came to my show last Saturday night and helped make it such a fun, packed out room. Hope y'all had as good a time as I did.

    Here's my little speech from the end of the show, where I got to say thank you to one of the people who got me where I am.

    Salami brothers forever!
