In-Character

This image of street performers in Nashville, TN, USA is an unusual

street image for me in that I don’t ordinarily show faces so clearly.

But I figure entertainers probably would not mind the publicity.

Their posture, clothing and the way they arrange themselves suggests

to me that they know the world is their stage and they are always in

character. Comments and critique welcome.

Hi Wayne,

  Great street shot with the perfect pose.  I think they posed just for you.  Take care, Patsy

I had to look closely - I thought they were wax images at first.

Patsy and Lynne,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.  I think I have seen and heard this group before.  I remember their being very talented.  But what caught my attention was their demeanor/posture even during this rain break.   I’ve seen this before.  There is a unique way some “farm folk” relax or “take-five” – it is like a meditative state where they zone-out as if aware but unaffected by the world moving about them.  Either these musicians are amazing actors and performers or they are “the real McCoy”.   Maybe both.

Nice capture of this group and well composed image.I like how they are lined up against the wall to stay clear of that pouring rain.Well done!

Meilleures salutations-Laurent

Thanks, Laurent, for stopping by and your kind comment.

quite a cast of characters, each a study in itself - and all together...  they look so much at ease as they wait out the rain patiently... a fine composition and exposure, pleasing solid colors - fine work

Thanks, Rajat.  Your kind comments are much appreciated.  This group really struck me as being very genuine and laid back.

Take a look at this:
