Busking in Perth (Friday 9-Mar-2001)

A group of us obtained busking permits for Perth, and hung around Perth most Friday evenings for the next month. :-) For most of us, this was our first street busking experience. The Perth council were cautious initially, too, since we're playing with fire. However, they soon warmed to us once they saw us perform. ;-)

These photos were taken on our first night busking in Perth. I haven't had time to completely post-process these images, so although there are some thumbnails, the images themselves are still a little large. On average, they're around 60K. Sorry about that... I'll fix that sometime soon... Also note that I've chosen larger thumbnails for this set than I have for the others. Feel free to tell me what you think.

	Sharpie, M² (Msquared), and Raven, all with a single staff. You can see the remainder of M²'s firebreathe in the top middle of the image, just off to the left a little. (Note that you can't see Sharpie in the thumbnail, because it was a nice panoramic shot.)
	Cormac with two staffs.
	Overhead shot of Crystle with poi.
	Karma with poi.
	Troy with two staffs.
	Cormac with two staffs.
	Crystle with poi. The mist you see is the camera's flash reflecting off some of the fuel. When you start twirling, you'll usually get a bit of fuel coming off the staffs or poi.
	Troy apparently dropping a staff. I can't work out if he's about to catch it or drop it. :-) (note from Troy: "That was a drop" :-))
	Heather and Karma, our gorgeous collectors for the evening. ;-)
	M² breathing fire. My arm is at an awkward angle because I'm twirling at the same time...

Beachside by the full moon (Monday 20-Mar-2000)

Ben extended to me Nada's invitation to practise by the beach with her friends. Naturally, I accepted! :-). Ben has a camera capable of long exposure shots, and so took some photos.

	Anisa with two poi
	Ember with two staff
	Helen with a staff (I think)
	Tony breathing fire (this was the first night he had ever breathed fire!)
	M² breathing fire. I'm not sure why there appears to be two bursts of flame here, but it looks kind of cool...

Heather's birthday (Friday 25-Feb-2000)

cLaRiSSa was one of the firedancer's who performed at Heather's birthday party. Here are the best photos that Heather took of cLaRiSSa

Practise session (Monday 21-Feb-2000)

Steven (one of my housemates at the time) was borrowing a digital camera capable of long exposure. He and Heather took some photos of us while practising one evening. Here are some of the best photos...
