Life is magnificent... but I will still ignore you!

2007.07.22
Living sculpture, Trafalgar Square

Please enlarge.

This was quite surreal. The guy walked up, set up his little steps, took out his placard and stood on the top. He never said a word; just stood there and people just walked on by as though he was just another one of the monuments in the square.

Weird!

deleted090307 Weird indeed, but I always love to see these characters out and about...

Great shot, which is made even better with the couple looking over at him. The other guy is obviously from a city and used to the strange and weird goings on!

longimanus He is actually a very friendly guy, saying " life is magnificent and that includes you", it is just a very weird way of expressing it! Would have been interesting a few reactions on the faces of the passants.

noptek Interesting picture. The way he choosed to share his message seems to be successful however weird it happens to be.

odradek I like the contrast between the strong balance of your composition and the unbalance given by the two characters looking outside of the frame....which is a narrative on its own.....bravo

sandmoon cool capture... i guess he needed some attention (read 'love')?
