Contact

An excellent contact juggler I came across one day in Union Square Park.  It's interesting, a lot of the street performers are places very frequently, but I have only seen this guy once.  I thought he was fantastic.  Occasionally, his clear ball would reflect his image in it, like it is doing in this photograph, which made the whole show even more interesting.  I hope he comes back sometime.

  1. I've photographed him too - at Washington Square Park -- I think it was April sometime. Am enjoying scrolling through your blog!

  2. Woah, thank you! I appreciate that a lot.

    He was such a vibrant street performer. I don't often take photographs of them- I have noticed that you do. There are so many interesting people performing on the streets of New York, but I am one of those people who is way too shy to go up to them and ask if I can take photos a lot of the time. With him, I was being stealthy, or at least... I thought I was being stealthy until I took this photograph, and he looked directly at the camera.

    Do you happen to know his name? I'd love to add it to this post if you do.

    Thanks again :)
