And as all things were from One, by the meditation of One, so from this One Thing come all things by adaptation. Its father is the Sun, its mother is the Moon, the wind carried it in its belly, the nurse thereof is the Earth.

Publics Reaction to Busking

I wanted to film this man (Jason Allan) and see how he affects the public. You see many people walking past trying to not look him in the eye just to avoid giving up £1 worth of change. This could also show that the public can be very antisocial, and would rather live in their own little bubbles than try to connect or talk to someone who may have an interesting story of the reason they are busking. To make this better, I should have filmed him over a longer period of time and maybe in different positions throughout Worcester, as it is easy to go unnoticed when you walk down the main part of Worcester city center.
