Hunched

Ah I’m rubbish at titles :)

Anyhow, saw this eldery man in a bus stop hunched over his newspaper, got
in close to him (2-3ft) and took the photo as I thought he was quite interesting.

Got home and noticed that the headline on the paper refers to the ‘Echo Boy’ shot
I took a couple of weeks ago and that the Echo Boy himself was 10ft away :)

I remarked on this on flickr-

However, there,I wasn’t allowed to mention that I might have preferred to see more of the context,
that he’s a little tight in the frame-
a little more space, and perhaps a slightly lower viewpoint might have been good-

Is this on your Yashica? what’s that, 45mm?

A remarkable coincidence though, maybe you should show them as a pair-

Thanks Joseph.

I agree its a bit too tight. Felt a bit under pressure taking it as there was several people staring at
me wondering what I was doing :) Was taking with the S90 actually, although I had the Yashica with me also.

Have a roll from the Yashica to develop this week, hope to find something worthy of posting from that.
Never know though, always a bit hit and miss this street stuff :)

And as you suggested, JB here is the guy whom the article is about.
