Man on the street
Posted on 01 September 2006
Since the smoking ban was implemented people can’t smoke in pubs which drives them on to the streets where the pub owner may have some street furniture out for their convenience. No such luck on North Main Street for this man. He’s enjoying his cigarette while sitting on an electricity junction box marked clearly “DANGER Keep Away”.

he’s smoking, and he’s like 160 years old – what has he got to lose? he’s already screwed anyway.
nice shiny shoes, though – I bet that guy’s been in the army, and kept up the habits.
He’s dressed so nicely. I like seeing the conrast in what he’s wearing to that of the younger generation on the street passing him by.
Kae’s comments makes me laugh, I love the slight distortion to the shot, for me a very good capture, the angle you shot this from is really nice. Brilliant capture.
Suby
Laughing at Kae’s comment. I was going to guess his age at 120.
The danger factor is high for him as it is!
Has Twenty Major had a shave?
great shot…interesting looking character.
He is elegantly dressed and he is NOT that old.
And what an interesting angle.
does any one know where i can purchase a copy of this photo?
