Street Musician

If you ever stopped by and listened to a street musician devotedly, then you deserve a round of applause, cause I'm not. Most of the time, I don't give a shit: never pay attention, give them spare change and wonder about their story. 

This was in fact my first time snapping a picture of them. And as I capture image by image, I realize street performances foster public display of emotion, highlighting social constraints that exist in a multicultural melting pot like Australia. They may be brilliant musicians just like the ones you normally see on TV, but separated with a thin yet firm line: notoriety.
