100 Strangers : Round 2 : No. 136 : Jake by phil_howcroft

100 Strangers : Round 2 : No. 136 : Jake

It was Nottingham Pride today, a great event to photograph for street photographers and a great event to photograph for "100 strangers" too.

This is Jake who I saw stood on the edge of the parade, he was talking to a young lady who was broadcasting live on Nottstv Instagram's page (Nott's TV is a local television company).

I went over to Jake and asked him for a photo and also waved a "hello" to the NottsTV broadcast as I introduced myself to Jake.

I was intrigued by his wresting belt. Jake is a big fan of WW wrestling and this was a replica belt.

Jake really liked being photographed, probably the most enthusiastic stranger I've photographed so far.

When not following the WW wrestling , Jake has his own you tube channel and is also a blogger and vlogger. He works at the Nottingham Arena in Customer Services

I also asked about Jakes connection to Nottstv. Jake had been on last nights "Pre Pride" show and had also appeared in a Gareth Southgate waistcoat show too .

This was my fave photo of the one's I took as Jakes smile really expresses happiness and you can tell he really likes being photographed.

Thanks for being stranger 136 Jake, I wish you luck with your you tube and social media journey.

Jakes youtube channel canbe found here
