Street Juggler



This is a photo from my quick visit to Tijuana, Mexico nearly a year ago. I shot the juggler - who was standing on someone's (his sister's?) shoulders and juggling - while we waited for a traffic light to change. When the light changed, she quickly came over to get a dollar from me.
