Photohunters : street musicians and space

From travel

I took this pic at the sidewalk along Jalan Sultan in Kuala Lumpur. I cannot be absolutely sure of course as I am quite unfamiliar with the roads of Kuala Lumpur.

Immediately after these blind musicians took up their positions, a clear space formed around them. People still walked along the sidewalk but left them some space. Perhaps it is about respect for them and they are earning an honest living.

    Yes they should be respected for they are earning an honest living. A very touching shot!

    It is an honorable job as we all know their options r limited

    owhhhh i missed photohunter..

    I respect them , as they are not beggers you can see they try to do something to make a little money

    i dont think they make much money though… it is difficult to pull at heart strings nowadays with the state of the economy the way it is

  4. It still must be a hard way to earn a living. Happy weekend

    Great take on the theme and that’s good that people gave the musicians space.

    Thanks for your comment on mine and also on my one about the doc stuff. My check up went well. I haven’t heard yet about the scan but I suspect if it had been bad news they would have called today. They tend to give bad news fast so I’m assuming good news.

    I hope you have a great weekend.

    As strange as it may sound… I think I’ve encountered these musicians before. Seems like they may have been plying their trade for a long time now — for which I give full credit to them.
