Street Fighting Man

I was in town today with a couple of my good pals. I was discussing how I have a camera with me at all times, yet have rarely used it recently. So, I took it out and took a shot of my friend John Wynn whilst my other friend was otherwise occupied. I didn't think it was a great shot, but after reviewing and processing it I'm actually fairly happy with it.

I quite like this because I'm a fan of street photography - something I don't do enough. John looks like he means business, hence today's title (and because he's a massive Rolling Stones fan)! In Photoshop I added a red vintage mask to achieve this effect. I think the vintage look is apt for John because of the type of character he is.

I do have other friends - honest! I've posted a few photos of John so far, but he's just so interesting a subject. He has such character and I think this comes through in his portraits. I think it's about time I did the odd shoot with my other friends, as I don't want to show any favouritism...

Canon S90, f/2.5, 1/100, ISO-80
Great street shot and great processing. I love candids and street photohgraphy... is that Carnaby street by any chance - the building at the end looks familiar?

Hey Cindy, it's the end of Clumber Street in Nottingham, the main high street.

Like the vintage look. Great photo, but don't think I'd mess with John.
