And the beat goes on... by northy

And the beat goes on...

The above busker B-Boy dancer was doing his thang at lunch time today on the corner of Yonge and Dundas outside the Eaton Centre. A young man was gunned down inside the Eaton Centre over the weekend, and today this area was crawling with the media. You can see a journalist reporting in front of a camera in the back of the shot towards the left.

Not the music this gentleman was dancing to, but somehow it seemed apropos none the less:

Alternate shot for today was taken in the morning. The corner was quite a bit emptier - except for the media.

'Doing his thang'. LOL! Great moment captured here!

He seems to have a bit of a stage here so perhaps that is what he does regardless of what is going on around him...yoicks!

Yikes! I was going to be all jealous of your street shot and then I read on. It's too bad things like that happen.

Woah! That's pretty hectic but I love this dude totally oblivious to what's happening around him just enjoying himself, excellent capture at exactly the right time :)

Wonderful timing on this shot, life goes on I suppose.

Do they still do Break Dancing on the street? Man, I thought that died off in the '80s. Cool shot, northy.

@38mm Jase - i'm thinking that even holding himself up on one hand like that he'd be able to keep me from pushing him over ;p

Excellent street shot.

Memorial break dance - I love how you got down to his level. It's a fab shot! - well done Northy! Sometimes I wish there were more street action in my little town, but after reading your comment here I think perhaps not.

Awesome!!!

Little bit of blue, TINY bit of green (to get rid of the magenta) tweaked contrast, shadows a bit. Blue can make all the difference in whites :) http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g349/GrizzlysGhost/white1of1.jpg
