Silver Bride and Groom

For the past month and a half I have seen this couple along Unter den Linden with many other street performers dressed in similar attire but these two always attract more attention that the others. It is quite possible because people are suckers for romance and they are dressed as a bride and groom however it is also because you can see the sweetness they both have. I was Lucky enough to catch them on break, touching up their make before going back to work. They are a couple from Poland who need a little extra money to help finance their vacation here in Berlin. They arrived the begging of July and will stay until the end of August. They stand outside until about two or three o'clock in the afternoon and then quickly become walking tourist after their shift. They knew they had competition on the streets especially around Unter den Linden and were very picky in which costume they chose, "well we knew we wanted to do this but we knew we had to be different than all of the other performers," he said, "it does help that there are two of us."

I took many picture of the two but I like this one because it is slightly towards the side. I photographed head on but I didn't like the taxi behind them. I like this one as well because you can see the street behind and the trash can on the side. They work on the city street and I believe that is portrayed well here. I like the silver compared to the environment around them. They look out of place but I am sure that is purely because they are all silver. While I was talking with them many picture were being taken by people walking along the street. Unlike the others who took their picture, I showed them the ones that I took and thanked them very much for their help and wished them a safe trip back to Poland.
