One of the many buskers showing their talents around the city.

For the next few days, I'll be posting snapshots from around Saint John. Hope you enjoy them!

I love this, Don :-) Being an old drummer I always admire young musicians they have great minds regardless of the style they play - great shot sir!

B. Thomas from Arlington, Texas, United States

Sometimes for shots of flowers, I wish this blog could bring the smell, and for shots like this one or waterfalls, ocean waves, and birds, I wish for the sound to go with it.

@B. Thomas: I know, I feel like that sometimes. But as photographers we can only try to relay, through our photos, what we heard, smelled or felt at the time. We just hope that when people see our photos, they can imagine what we experienced at the time. Thanks Barbara!

That is one of the joys of this kind of event... the music! The local bands must be pleased to be a part of the festivities and get some esposure. This trio is quite focused! A great shot Don, I enjoyed!!

Great shot of these interesting street musicians !!!

Anina Botes from Auckland, New Zealand

Oh wow! They came prepared! Our buskers normally only have a guitar - where these guys are a band and looks like pros!

15 Jul 2012 1:18am

@Anina Botes: Just a small local band looking for some exposure. Busker's festival is a great time to show off their talent.

Elaine Hancock from Rockville, United States

Great shot! I like how they are in front of music store. That is most appropriate and probably good business for the store!

15 Jul 2012 2:41am

@Elaine Hancock: Thanks Elaine! Good for them also as they meet people with the same love for music.

Sue-Ann from Quebec, Canada

a full band on the sidewalk, they better do good money to share between all of them.. a lot of artists began this way or in the sybway... who knows...

15 Jul 2012 2:57am

@Sue-Ann: This is during Buskers Festival. The money they get is small compared to the exposure they'll get.

Alireza from Tehran, Iran

15 Jul 2012 5:13am

@Alireza: Thank you Alizera!

@franz: I tried to get them to smile for the camera and couldn't.

Excellent street shot, Don - an enjoyable series with so many styles of busking!
