Flickr Forum: August 29th, 2008 - Busker Festival
The blogTO Flickr Forum is a weekly sampling of themed photographs taken by Torontonians and aims to not only feature the talent they possess, but also spur dialogue and reveal the stories behind the images.

Today's collection of Toronto photographs is made up of responses to our call for photos that fit the theme "Buskerfest". These images were all recently submitted to the blogTO Flickr pool.

To the photographers: we'd love to hear about your photos. A little info on where it was taken and the story behind the photo is always a great start.

To the rest of you, feel free to ask questions to the artists, submit photos to the blogTO Flickr pool for next week's consideration, or just sit back and enjoy our weekly mosaic.

Continue for links to larger versions, and to check out the next theme.

4. and 'a one, and 'a two, 5. Joker's Wild, 6. Day 290 - Aug 22, 2008

The next theme is "Summer Vacation", recommended by sniderscion & photosapience. We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on September 5th.

To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "Summer Vacation"
- Add to the blogTO Flickr pool
- If you have a photo already in the pool, and you would like it to be considered, remove the photo from the pool and re-add it. Only photos added in the past week will be considered.

If you have a theme suggestion, feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks for including two of my shots this week (#3 and #4). :) Lady Lemonade - giving out lemonade at the 'Fest - in particular was hilarious; she had such a great personality, and she vamped up a pose as soon as I asked.

It is an honour having one of my photos selected. Had a good afternoon at the buskerfest. Some of the acts proved difficult to photograph unless you arrived well before they started. The arial team, Flam Chen, was very different. The helium filled balloons allowed for every one in the area to get a good view. Stiil a challenge as the balloons moved back and fourth over my head as she performed her daring fetes, I was able to get a few good shots including one of her looking straight down at me.
