Josh

Met Josh at the corner of Gay & High street in Columbus, Ohio. He was standing there, leaning on a scooter in this cool pose, so I asked for his pic. As we spoke, I found he is very interested in remodeling of old Lincolns and Mercedes, with some radical ideas he would like to try, in the process of tricking out these cars. Although he seemed like an okay guy, my "sixth sense" told me he had a bit of an "edge" to him, so after a few moments, I began my exit strategy. We said our goodbyes and I took off down the street....all of a sudden, bamn! He was right there, on my left side, out of nowhere! I DID get a little scared in that moment, but was able to keep my cool, not let it show, and told him I had to cross the street at the next light, which seemed to get rid of him. Potential crisis averted. This is only the second time I have had a scare, but now that I am older, gotta try to be even more careful than I usually am.
Great shot. Yeah, seems sort of strange that he would just all of a sudden come chasing you down. Glad you got away without any incidence.

That is one major concern I get with talking to random people with my camera gear with me!

Nice shot. Too bad he had to scare you.

@danette 😄😄 @frodob you can do it, this is only the second time in about 6 years that I have been concerned. Go shoot!

Good shot but his eyes are a bit intimidating. Glad you were able to get away without incident.

Cool portrait. Or maybe he sensed your fears and wanted to scare you.

Very intense look. I like the back story of how vulnerable you can be taking photos of total strangers.

Nice one

Well, you got a really portrait...you just get better & better, but I understand the feelings....be careful out there, my friend.

Another great portrait. Glad you got away - always listen to your 6th sense!

It definitely does seem like a strange encounter, odd behavior. Glad you are ok and you did get a good portrait.
