another top quality portrait Carole, sharp in all the right places
I wonder if he was an authentic steampunk. He perhaps could have positioned himself away from modern day distractions, the lamp shade sort of doesn't work for him and the iPhone with his lyrics / music etc. shouts 21st century , he could have disguised his iPhone ? Am I being a bit negative towards him? Over critical of him? Or just showing empathy / solidarity towards my steampunk mate (I say mate he's a social media mate, but I bump into him at many Nottingham events I attend). I think I've rattled on a little too much , but that's a good thing , that your photo made me write so much !
@phil_howcroft unfortunately the 21st century does invade. One guy that we about to take a photo of suddenly realised he had a plastic bottle in his hand, mobiles, there was another drinking from a can etc.
Glad my image has spurred you to comment with passion!
Sounds as though you had a fabulous day. We don't have any steampunk festivals near us, our nearest is at Goulburn almost 400 km away. We went once pre Covid maybe next year we will get there.
