Here is full un-cropped view of a street entertainer.
Very unique shot. Have been on this particular street many times and have not seen someone like this.

A most-interesting fellow. Looks like he put a lot of work into that outfit.

And without the crop this becomes something really interesting for Street Photography. Here he is the foreground of this picture but deep background in that scene. Everyone has their back to him, and he is not the center of attention nor making any effort at it. Instead he is relaxing with something to drink in hand and headed off who knows where, while the show goes on.

This is Street Photography!

Apaflo, glad to see you are back. I had a question about the last thread:

"Apaflo wrote:

It's not just a sampling, one could find many such examples in Gilden's body of work.

But the important part is to read your opinion on how the three photos are showing about life and relationships on the street.

That is precisely the same text you posted in the other thread. There of course is no question for me to answer in the other thread or here.

I did assume that your last sentence meant that you did understand that yes "the three photos are showing about life and relationships".

Very interesting shot. From the way you framed it, people seem to be ignoring him. Was there a crowd in front of him?

No I really didn't understand that the 3 photos showed life and relationships. I thought they looked just like the photo that Mr Bob posted and that you said was NOT Street Photography. I thought that you were going to say that although Gilden was a famous Street Photographer, he sometimes took portraits like Mr Bob. When I looked at the 3 Gilden head shots I did not see RELATIONSHIPS. I was hoping that you would explain these relationships, so I can learn how others view the subject.

There were crowds up and down the street. He quickly appeared from the right. You would think 1 person would have been looking.

What a colourful photo, but I would have loved to see what footwear he was wearing.

Can you please tell us where the photo was taken. Perhaps the name of the country would do.

Agree, but shoe could be off the shelf and still be wildly colorful in today's world. The EXIF says San Fransisco... CA

Yes, San Francisco. The entertainer was dressed 100% in the same type of material.
