Too bad they are ignoring it as I doubt they'll get a better shot at jumping it.

Read his wikipedia entry. You can also see more pictures of him if *ahem* your interested at his myspace page

Originally posted by agenkin: What I see is an photo of a transvestite looking ridiculous. He is acting, and the photographer merely records the act, quite sloppily. An attempt to combine three frames within one didn't work (the guy looks quite detached from the background), but even if it did, what would it accomplish? What I would like to see is a photograph of the same person that doesn't show him as a laughing stock (even though he seems to be happily obliging).

It was a quick edit. I stitched them together and blurred the last frame a little just so it matched the other two.

The point of the three frames was because I felt it told what happened better than any single frame did. I was walking. He was walking. I brought my camera up to shoot as he walked by and he did what he did. In short I simply captured what happened. Nothing more nothing less. Frankly, it would be rather difficult to capture him being anything different.

The b/w conversion is good. I wish there were more blacks but the scene really didn't lend itself to that. Compositionally, this is rather dull. You've chosen a portrait format which doesn't really go well with all the horizontal lines in the photo. You'd normally want to focus on creating as much depth as possible in this format and the fencing in particular is a barrier to that.

To pick up what Art said the photo does lack a subject but it doesn't mean it needs to have a person in it. What I think the problem is the clouds are "acting" as that subject as that's the first thing that my eyes gravitate to when I look at this. That is because it's the brightest thing in the shot and also has strong contrast. This is probably one of those photos where burning would help redirect that focus to what you want it to be and may also help you get more blacks into the shot which is what I love about b/w.

Well you don't see this everyday. Great moment you captured. I like the noise/grain but if it looked more natural it would be better. That's my only nitpick.

I like the look of the photo. Not crazy about the composition though.
