Street Fair Street Photographs: Part 1
Dec 18, 2022 15:49:10 #
Here are some of the shots I took while taking a basic photography class at the local community college. Class focused on B&W film with developing and printing, all of which was new to me. Show with an original Canon Rebel that I found on an electronics table at a ComicCon and purchased for $25 including a Canon EF f4-5.6 35-80mm lens. I later added a Canon EF f1.8 50mm lens to my kit.
The Stick Man
The Stick Man stands
almost as straight as his stick
one hand extended as if he has just finished
a practiced dance step.
“Wanna take my picture?” was our introduction
and from there I learned
that he like to play along with the music
using his stick that was NOT an air guitar
but his stick
(I stand corrected).
His fingers wiggle and dance
along the stick
which he holds like a guitar
(but it’s a stick)
as he rhythmically bobs his head
to the music thumping from a nearby DJ.
He seems pleased that he has an audience
to attend his impromptu performance
and I wonder how many other countless performances
have been given or
have I perhaps been gifted with a rare display
as a thank you for saying yes
when he asked,
“Wanna take my picture?”
