Wow, he's a brave guy. I hope he made some money ;-) This looks great in B&W and the contrast on it is superb...
Posted by one way photo / Mark at February 24, 2009 01:40 AMThat takes an amazing amount of dedication, Sam.
And the drummer's pretty dedicated, too!
Posted by Paul Pomeroy at February 24, 2009 02:24 AMThis is a great photo Sam, BW works really well with this. The composition and focus are also great. With weather like this I usually don't even think about taking the camera out on the street. Can therefore appreciate these pics more :-)
Posted by vg at February 24, 2009 03:24 AMLife can be hard and "cold" for some people. Good shot.
Posted by handyman toronto at February 24, 2009 03:25 AMWow. That's dedication.
Posted by Kevin at February 24, 2009 04:09 AMThis is one determined drummer.
Posted by navin harish at February 24, 2009 05:45 AMawesome feel to the street scene. I swear this is the longest and most consistent snow that I can remember!
Posted by scott webb at February 24, 2009 06:14 AMPerfect. I like the mood of the picture. Perfect.
Posted by THOMAS WINZER at February 24, 2009 06:51 AMI just love this one! The lighting, the composition, the focus, everything! Well done.
Posted by wesley yendrys at February 24, 2009 07:03 AMSure seems a hard way to make it. Busking in the sun can be hard enough. Good shot!
Posted by Hugh Petrie at February 24, 2009 08:58 AMwow, I love this picture Sam, perfect for b&w, well done!
Posted by Carlos Bohorquez Nassar at February 24, 2009 09:01 AMno matter what weather!
sometimes it's hard to rock :/
Woah, that's incredible! (To this Aussie, anyway! Though I spent 12 months in TO a couple years back and never saw anyone busking through this sorta weather!!)
Anyway... I can't remember how I found your site exactly, but I've been checking back here when I remember to, and loving your work. Just wanted to say thanks for adding some visual beauty to my day!
Posted by Rebecca at February 24, 2009 09:19 AMI admire him. Really original your point of view
Posted by BoB at February 24, 2009 09:32 AMAwesome, awesome shot. I love your choice of black and white also.
Posted by Marshall at February 24, 2009 11:31 AMThat guy has some dedication. Rock on.
Posted by Brandon Stone at February 24, 2009 11:49 AMThis is probably one of the most powerful street shots I've seen in a long time.
Posted by Laurie at February 24, 2009 01:25 PMLooks like a cold night to be playing for change!
Posted by Claus Petersen at February 24, 2009 01:37 PMBeautiful and inspiring image. Nice management of blacks in the post processing.
Posted by Alec Johnson at February 24, 2009 02:14 PMHaha! I totally danced to this guy's beat.
Posted by CoreTechs at February 24, 2009 06:14 PMGreat B&W treatment. I like how you've used a slower shutter speed to capture the motion of the snow. All the elements of this image contribute mate - inspiring photography as usual. Dedicated drummer too! :)
Posted by Skiman at February 24, 2009 07:12 PMI love the low vantage point and the movement of the snow... really captures the atmosphere!
Posted by Allison at February 24, 2009 10:04 PMBeautiful pictures as always - but are you ready for Spring yet? You're a talent dude!
Posted by Virginia photographer at February 26, 2009 12:40 AMGreat capture. One day I'll run into you downtown!!
Posted by Alan Nielsen at February 26, 2009 08:36 AMmost hardcore drummer ever seen! nice shot. /J
