It’s happened, on more than one occasion now, that a street performer in Vancouver has noticed my camera and decided to pose for me. These guys love all the attention that they can get and I’m happy to oblige! They are very interesting characters.

I didn’t catch his full act, or name, but the performer in the photos and video below managed to persuade me to use my camera in a crazy balancing act. The act itself wasn’t so crazy, but I was for letting him touch my camera. I made sure to put the camera on video mode so that I would have proof if something were to go horribly wrong. Thankfully, it turned out he really knew how to balance things on his chin well, *phew*.

Here is a video from when my camera was attached to his monopod. The aperture was around f4 so the crowd did not appear in focus from that distance, but it’s kind of interesting. Kind of.
