Steve and Panda Bear are from Winnipeg, and they’ve been travelling and busking together for almost thirteen years. We met them here in Nanaimo, a west coast a city over 2300 kilometres from Winnipeg. After this picture was taken from across the street, Steve jokingly asked for $5 in return. Instead, we bought him a coffee, gave him and Panda the change, and sat down for a short chat. He had the bluest eyes I’d ever seen.
