One of the cool things about Seattle in the summer is the wealth of street performers out there to photograph. Shooting pictures on the street isn't always for the faint of heart. Some people DON'T want their picture taken (I'll post one of those in a few days). But street performers are already used to the tourist types snapping pictures. Besides, being hostile to folks showing an interest in them is unlikely to improve their bottom line. I won't pay someone to take their picture, but I will drop a couple of bucks in a street performer's bucket (I'm always in favor of supporting art, & more importantly...artists). The diversity of instruments & artists means that you'll have a lot of opportunities to take pictures of different kinds of folks. Here are a couple of violin students down on Pine.
