Seen at the Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival, No. 20, July 3, 2014 - Mr. Statue, after sundown

Mr. Statue, after sundown. Christmas lights make me happy! So does Mr. Statue.

Seen at the Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival, No. 8, July 3, 2014 - One of my favorite guys to see out and about around downtown Portland

Mr. Statue, since the first time I saw him years ago, remains my favorite Portland street performer. I like how this photo turned out.



Usually you can see two or three balls at the same time. He keeps them in a fanny pack when he's being still. I'm so glad that he got to set up in the shade of the Hawthorne Bridge!



I cannot imagine how much time that it takes for Mr. Statue to get ready for his performances. For me, he's a mesmerizing treat to witness.

Photo taken at SW 5th Avenue and SW Morrison, downtown Portland, on February 16. 

Mr. Statue, a popular mime in Portland, set up beneath the glass overhang that protects the door to Pioneer Place, a multi-story shopping center. I took quite a few photos and had a difficult time deciding on just one. Once I had altered this one at BeFunky dot com, I liked how it turned out, so I decided to share it with you. I may post another one or two later on, just because I like them so much. Oh, by the way, this spot is the first place that I saw Mr. Statue--I'm not sure which year, but it was quite a few ago.
