I have begun to like the low light photography. Now a days I am shooting mostly after dark, in either street light or flash, but mostly street lights. The color is hard to balance since the D200 does not measure well below 3500K.

I met Craig and Steven in Little Italy. A few blocks from Market Street, Little Italy is in essence, the spirit of Italians caught with their festivities and a taste for fine dining and wining.
 
Craig plays the clarinet in the usual place and is often joined by Steven and others. They also perform in local music clubs and pubs. Steven plays the guitar, the harmonica and also adds vocals.

When most people are trying to “settle” down, it was refreshing to meet Frankie and Couscous more than willing to “unsettle” themselves. They are on a break for two weeks and arrived in California from Seattle. They have been playing on the streets to earn a meager gas money so that they could keep traveling.
