It’s not often I get the chance to get into town at the weekends so when I had a little time recently I decided to take my Super D large format SLR camera out for a little air. As is often the case the street performers on Cornmarket Street were doing their thing and pulling in big crowds. The lens on the Super D is not particularly wide so I wasn’t about to capture much of the crowds but the performers themselves were great to photograph.

Fire juggler. It's hard to tell but this guy is holding a fireball behind his back in his left hand. After this he dropped it down his trousers!

On my way to Port Meadow I passed these people that were guests at a wedding. The gentleman reminded me of Johnny Depp
Meg and her daughter. Meg is a photographer who spotted me with my Super D camera in the Divinity Schools quadrangle.

These are all so great! I especially love the last one. The flames are unreal!
Hi Nasir,
It is Meg here, you took a photograph of myself and my daughter Maple. I absolutely love the picture and wondered if it would be possible to get a print or for you to email me a printable jpeg and how much you would charge for it?
Keep up the good work- very inspiring!!
Meg:-)
