Photographing a photographer

Friday People day and today's people photo is one I took at Maitland of a chap who could be a double for Santa.

Street Art Day 10 here http://365project.org/onewing/topics/2014-01-10
Santa must have some hobby at other times of the year !! Nice one -like the tilt of his head

He has an interesting camera, He might be one of us!

@beryl Thanks Beryl. I suppose Santa has to keep himself occupied with something during his work free time.

@steampowered You could be right Paul. Who would have thought that he would come to Maitland of all places!!!

@yaorenliu I think he was videoing some dancers at the Maitland festival.

@heidihp Thanks Heidi. He does have to keep himself occupied for the rest of the year I suppose. this isn't the first time I have spotted him in our area, I found him a few months ago http://365project.org/onewing/365/2013-08-09 at an airshow. Keeps himself busy!!!

@zenna You could be right Gayanne. I suppose he has to take his holidays somewhere!!

@huvesaker Thanks so much Boo. I love finding the people too. There are so many interesting faces in the world.

This is a lovely portrait Babs. Fav.
January 10th, 2014  
@onewing ha! Yes I remember this shot! He does seem to have tidied himself up a bit since then :)
January 10th, 2014  
I thought he looked familiar somehow, does he know he's doubly famous? Lovely look of contemplation in his eyes. Hope things have settled down a bit for you now, have a good weekend Babs.

this is fantastic portrait. It shows a lot of character. fav for me.
btw, what is people Friday?
January 11th, 2014  
@libertylady thanks so much for the fav Alice. People Friday is an idea of mine which I started about april last year. I decided that each Friday for as long as I could I would put a picture of a person on 365. I didn't think it would run as long as it has done, but I seem to have collected quite a lot of photos of people. Fortunately, everyone I have asked if I could take their photo has said yes. I will see if I can keep it up for a year.

@paulaw Thanks Paula. Don't think he knows he is doubly famous. Yes, things seem to have settled down a bit at the moment. Fingers crossed!! Don't want another year like the last one.

@joeyc Thanks Joey. I have realized lately that just about every photo I take of men in my people shots seem to have beards. Must be something deep about that one.

@derekvickers Thanks so much for the fav Derek. He does look a bit of a character.
January 11th, 2014

I love the look on his face, the ponder of the moment, and the reflection in his glasses. This is an excellent character capture and a FAV!

@sunraye Thanks so much for the Fav Raye. I loved the expression too. He was watching some Thai dancers and was lost in the moment.
