Fire Guy

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 23 April 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I call this very entertaining Key West street performer "Fire Guy" because as it got dark at Mallory Square, he began juggling fire. His act was hilarious.

BELLA UPDATE: Dec 3 Wed. Very cool morning; Bella's walk went well. She's experiencing some gastric problems, cramping or something; not sure what it is yet, but she's not been a totally happy camper either yesterday or today (except on her walks). Am praying for God's grace to abound.

Bella's miracle (the one we continue praying for) is a day by day process. Which means Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint; it will take a while for completion. But we are encouraged by answered prayer; her condition is stable, a lesion in her heart has healed. There is more healing that is needed. And that's why Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are special blessings.

Stunning detail in this shot VF. I love how you've even managed to capture the smoke coming off the flames. And AWESOME moody sky in the background

Great capture, VF - it seems he's eying what's in his left hand while you shot his right!
Don't you wish you could have slowed the clock during your evening at Mallory Square?

Superb late afternoon lighting! The warm color balance on him, (and the fire) makes the sky look almost desaturated.

Another great people shot - the lighting on this guy with the sky in the background is great. I especially like the flames over his head....

Again, thanks to all who have come by and posted a comment today for "Fire Guy." He has an incredible act, and yes tyan is right, he has to have practiced and trained for a long time to be as good as he is.
