    This is such cool picture! I love the framing. This looks like it would appear in a magazine or Tv commercial for some product here!:) the man on the right really seals the deal.

      Thank you!

      This one came out much better than I expected. And yeah, that’s quite a look, isn’t it?

    Love it!
    Reservoir Dogs meets the Blues Brothers.
    You manage to make an opportunistic capture seem like a staged publicity shot.

    Back in the 80’s I lived and worked in Basingstoke for a while, and being more or less built from scratch the town centre was owned by one company. At the time they employed unofficial security guys to pressure “undesirables” (i.e. anyone not looking like they had money to spend) into moving on, whether they were pensioners sitting and chatting or young folk just hanging out. That’s what partially sprang to mind when seeing this photograph. Though it has to be said, these Ginza Guys look far more affable than the Basingstoke Bouncers ever did.

      Cheers! Things came together just nicely — especially the light.

      Yeah, they might look a bit displeased, but that was about it.

      Cheers. Yes, potentially double trouble!
