In Central Park in New York City I happened on this man who might be a garden gnome but is instead Blackwolf the Dragon Master-- he has his own my space page. Is he busking or merely hanging out?
I know that I have heard some marvelous people playing in the street and am fascinated by the idea of photographing them. I thought I should try busking myself, but I think it is too late.
I photographed this group in Florence who are definitely busking, but didn't post it because I didn't think I photographed them very well. He's playing a kind of zither, plucked or hammered, I'm not sure which.
In this photo from San Francisco my friend Mark is next to the "World Famous Bush Man," a busker who jumps out from behind his bush and scares you. Great pains were taken so that I would walk past him.
I'm so proud. I was commented by the saw lady the same day I heard her on npr.

How cool that you heard me on NPR! (If I had a dime for every time they re-broadcast this episode...).
I've known Blackwolf for years - really nice guy. But your question is very valid - I have no idea if he collects tips and if so - how...
I've heard a lot about the Bush Man. Thanks to you I now know what he looks like.
All the best,
