Street performers, sometimes called buskers, have been performing in the world’s great cities for centuries.  I snapped this photograph as this smiling busker sought spare change from passersby.

He wasn’t a very good musician, but my lens enjoyed the scene, so we left him a few Euros.

On a completely separate note, this is the first photograph I shot with my new Sony FE 24-240 lens. This is a brand new lens offered by Sony for their A7 camera line, and I’m tickled pink with the lens.
