...and I should take my camera with me. I found myself in the town yesterday and this guy came around the corner as I ventured to get my watch fixed ( the repair: a new battery, cost more than the original watch ) I chased back after him and asked if he'd mind me taking his picture. He was extremely pleasant and said fine and this is the best that came out from my phone camera ( I wished I'd brought my proper camera, but hey ho ) Who would have thought that a string vest would be 'cool' in the fashionable meaning of the word? I assume that if you colour your hair brighter than a Belisha beacon ( for those unfamiliar please go to the link ) then you are not likely to object if someone asks to take your photo. He also sported quite a lot of piercings, almost enough to give him metal fatigue.
He would not look out of place on the beach in LA, in fact he might have even blended into the scene there, but in Cheltenham he did look very striking. I've not meddled with this image apart from adding the dark background, to make him stand out even more. I think he's now outstanding.
