Fremantle Arts Festival
Posted on April 5, 2010 - Filed Under Humor, News, Personal
remember me ??? 🙂 I thought I would share an event that I had never been to before, and wasnt sure of its photographic potential. The Fremantle street arts festival happens over the Easter long weekend each year (apparently) and has street performers or buskers from all over the world, so I thought I would take a look. So I packed up my camera bag (about 10 kilos I reckon) and headed for Freo. Figuring it would be busy I parked a few kilometres from the city and walked in, carrying my camera gear. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at the opportunities for photos and would go again I think. There were all kinds of performers to shoot, living statues, mime, acrobats, trapeze artists a guy in a weird red costume. There were a few hiccups, getting stuck in a crowd with the fish eye on and not being able to swap it for a closer lens, being too short (sigh) and my battery running out not long after I got there, and then finding I left my spare at home. So then came the long walk back, carrying my gear. heres a couple of photos 🙂
