Heart and Soul-More Street Photography
I am continuing with some more candid street shots. It's not something I do very often but I thought I should do more of these since they really give a view into the diversity that I experience every day in my travels around the area I live, work, and play.
This was shot on Saturday in Peddler's Village PA, which is a touristy, and beautiful, shopping village in Lahaska, Buck's County PA. Even though I don't live in PA, I do spend a lot of time there. I have since I was a little girl. I have friends and family there so it definitely feels like home to me. I was passing through Lahaska when I saw they were having their anual Scarecrow Competition and Festival in Peddler's Village, so I though I would just stop in and have a look. I hadn't been there in years for the festival and thought it could be fun.
At the festival, besides all the fun and creative scarecrows, there were also all manner of street entertainers. I got there really late so most of them were packing up for the day. I did have the pleasure of coming across these fantastic musicians. They had a table set up with some of the most beautiful instruments I'd ever seen. They drew quite a crowd with their musical talent as they played some of the same instruments that they had for sale.
I feel awful because I forgot to grab a card for this pair of wonderful musicians. In reality I should have bought one of their CD's but I was short on cash so I didn't, figuring I could contact them later to purchase but I don't have their card and don't remember their names. I will say that the music was soulful and very moving. Just beautiful. If anyone out there knows who they are please, please, tell me. I tried doing a search but got nowhere with it. I plan on calling the shop where they were set up in front of to ask if they know. I will update this post with the information.

Very cool.
Nice portraits.
Those musicians from the Andes are all over the world. They have indeed great music. I also purchased a tape from them long time ago. I love this pan flute music!
This means to go over the descriptive photo and to try to enter the mind of the people.
Absolutely beautiful. You let the pictures tell the story, with no embellishment. Simple, direct, powerful... and most of all honest.
Lovely street shots Laurie.
excellent street shots...love the intensity of the third one, really soulful...
I can "hear" the music coming from these images and it sounds very relaxing. I especially like the top image. Great environmental portraits.
Very nice skin tones in these shots, particularly on the third!
these shots are great - perfect street photography.
Can hear them almost, a good serie of this artists.
Hello,Laurie.
I love the music which is played by these instruments.
Did you spend a wonderful time,did you?
I wish I could hear,too!
I have heard similar music played by Peruvian musicians. Its very haunting and moving. I hope you can find out more about them.
I'm hearing the theme from 'Titanic'.
Beautiful portraits, Laurie, and thanks for being always faithful in visiting and commenting :)
Great...while viewing your photos I hear the music - I'm viewing not the photos, but rest in the warmth of your big heart.
Your artworks convince that spiritual values didn’t left our world till now.
