Faneuil Hall Street Performer Auditions, March 2011
I was able to attend and photograph the street performer auditions at Faneuil Hall this year. Dozens of hoping performers gathered here to compete for a chance to be an official street performer in front of popular Boston landmark/tourist trap Faneuil Hall. The rewards are great, but so is the danger. In particular, Bob at Large, the guy balancing on five cylinders, really took my breath away.

Lovely stuff! I worked just outside of Seattle's Pike Place Market for years, and really grew to love the street performance scene. You've captured not only the imagery, but the narrative/dramatic build of some of these acts quite beautifully. Something about the very existence of people who do things like this all day makes me feel a little better about humanity as a whole.
