Ojarus [1 of 5]

Sorry for the delay in posting. I couldn't find my head...

Anyway, rounding out the Halifax photos is a series of captures I took at Halifax Buskerfest. There were many street performers from around the world - mostly Canada though. But the ones who most got my attention were a duo from Japan called Ojarus. The show started with the transformation of two very ordinary looking people into clowns of the highest order as they put on their makeup in front of the assembled crowd. These guys tour the world, so if you ever find them in your part of it, I encourage you to go see them.
