Stranger 007/100 - Charlie The Musician
I was in search of someone today that I could approach. I still find it difficult to fight the feeling of "will they give me the time of day or just tell me to p*** off", and I get the distinct impression that I might have my camera stolen if I ask the wrong person.
However I saw this man in the street wearing this distinctive hat, which I love. Anyone who can pull a look like this off naturally is worth meeting in my humble opinion. I corned him in the cobblers shop as he was getting his watch fixed / battery replaced / picking it up. I asked him if I could take his photo, explained the background and he was such a gent about it. He said it was coincidental because his brother was out doing a photo shoot today as well.
I took a few, and have a nice one of him putting his watch strap back on, but I elected for this one as the aperture blur is stronger and his eyes are wider open.
