    It fortunately wasn’t too close for him.

    I like this so much. A lot of humor!

      Thank you. Not what I was hoping to shoot, but probably a better outcome.

    Thanks for the ear worm, The Red and the Black by Blue Oyster Cult. This guy isn’t quite a Canadian Mountie, but his colour scheme sure is.
    How you get the colur matching in your photographs without the aid of a team of spotters and set dressers I’ll never know 🙂

      To be honest, my hope was just someone of interest passing through. Hadn’t even thought of matching colours. So when the fella walked past I was well pleased. Then even more so when he returned shortly afterwards. Lovely when something like that happens.

    ‘The Red and the Black’; whips and uniforms but it’s not a love song? It’s alright.
    Our guy seems neither Blue Oyster Cult or Iron Maiden fan man but more hiphop with Pingchic, sadly not modelling the pointy hood. There’s a black and white version too perhaps that is more Pingu-chic?
    The ‘spotters’ got the plastic matching too!

      That’s a good call on Pingu-chic. The front of his hoodie rather oddly references lots of animals too, although sadly no mention of penguins…
