First, a heavily cropped detail of a parked Harley with a self-portrait in there: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_14.jpg Then some street musicians on Zurich's answer to 5th Ave., Bahnhofstrasse. They claim to be from St. Petersburg, as do many such people these days. A few years ago a symphony orchestra from Russia was touring the UK; the attendance at the concerts was low, and the promoter did not have money to fly them back to Russia. So they resorted to playing on the streets of London to earn their airfare until someone took pity and paid for it. Since that well-publicized story, a lot of street musicians who have never set foot in Russia claim to be from there. Whether this applies to this quartet, I don't know: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_14alt1.jpg Finally, a scene from the lakefront. A pair of musicians, not claiming to be Russian, take a break: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_14alt2.jpg All three pictures with M6, 50mm Summilux, on Fuji Acros.
