Making a Statement by onewing

Making a Statement

Friday people day again and I took this photo at the Cessnock Swap Meet market a few weeks ago.

This chap certainly seems to be making a statement.

I was going to ask him if I could take his photo, but when he turned round I noticed he had studs in his eyebrows, a stud through his nose and rings through his lips, plus a tattoo on his left cheek, so I chickened out of asking. He would probably have been fine about it, but I wasn't going to risk it. He may have misinterpreted my intentions, he did look an interesting character.
And I suppose he is one of the more conservative ones down your way babs? LOL

A very interesting hairdo Babs.

You never know if he might think you were taking the picture because of how he looked.....I mean you were but not in a nasty way! Looks like a typical car boot as we call them! You see some interesting people at places like that!

A statement indeed, open to interpretation but if he's happy with that, good luck to him! Some people have been very kind about my new haircut, too. (There's no accounting for taste!)

a bit scary. But he may have been flattered by your attention

Cool capture and a perfect title.

Funny thing I saw someone looking exactly the same this afternoon! Great candid capture

A great and interesting candid capture Babs.

Well captured Babs and I think it's great to have the courage to make a statement. I guess he would probably have been a quiet type had you approached him.....

A good image!
September 18th, 2015  
Looks scary enough from the back !

I am not surprised you chickened out Babs he looks scary . btw thank you for your recent comments . I am not sure if they have the flower festival in Buxton I would like to go and see the well dressing.

Great capture,Babs!I think such people want to make an impression and be noticed,so probably he would be happy if being asked for a shot.
September 18th, 2015  
Definitely making a statement

Great capture -- even his back is interesting , trying to make out what is on his t shirt and that " dead rat " hair do !!

Great candid capture

Haha, would have loved to see the front view too! I love your description.

@terryliv How did you guess.

@hermann @happypat @wordpixman @cruiser @mittens @craftymeg @thistle @quietpurplehaze @dide @mbmomentsintime @happysnaps @my_photofun @bkbinthecity @beryl @bizziebeeme @annied @888rachel Thanks. He would probably been okay if I had asked him for a photo, but he was with his mates and they were more interested in the goods for sale, so I didn't want to get into a conversation.

Bet he would have been ok. We were talking about this sort of chap earlier today. A friend said one of the guy who raises €1000s for cancer care looks like this and is a poppet!

@chimfa I agree Jane, he probably would have been okay if I'd have asked him, but he was with his mates and also at the market so I didn't want to barge in.
I took this photo http://365project.org/onewing/365/2014-10-17 last year of a bikie chap and got chatting to him. He was lovely and after showing me his tats he then showed me the scar where he donated his kidney to his daughter. As you say quite a poppet really. They are never as tough as they look from my experience of chatting up strangers, ha ha.

Thanks for sharing! Had a good laugh. Loved to see what was on the back of his T-shirt.
September 20th, 2015  
Nice "do"! Probably a good choice to not take a frontal view...but the back view speaks volumes! Well done!
