Juggling The Streets

I have a fascination for street artists. Every city has them, some good, some bad, but all of them have one thing in common: they practice their crafts in public, honing their skills, their interactions with strangers.

I noticed this particular young juggler when I got out of a tram in the city centre (stare miasto) in the Polish City of Krakow.

The pavement is a mixed of bricks and cobblestones, it is busy, buzzing with locals and tourists. Perfect streets to capture the ordinary, quirky or extravagants among is.

In this case it was this particular young man, tall, thin, pleasant presence, who caught my attention juggling pins. I asked him how much he made doing this a day. Much to my surprise he mentioned 100 to 200 euro a day. I’d juggle for that.
