Geo and Chikara - Subway performance

This is my third in a series photo essays on New York City street musicians. I took the photographs for this piece and recorded Geo and Chikara playing May 11, 2008. I have long been intrigued by street musicians and my desire to learn more about them inspired this artistic exploration.

This essay is on Geo and Chikara, street musicians that team up to earn a living in the subways of New York and pursue dreams of musical success.

Geo (fusion guitar) is from Quito, Ecuador, Chikara (Cajon / percussion) is from Japan.

For more information on Geo, please see his MySpace music profile

Each photo essay that I do in this series will be accompanied by a painting. Please check out the time lapsed video of the painting that I did of Geo and Chikara.
