I spotted this chap sitting on a bench outside the Cathedral this morning and was struck by the sense of concentration on his face as he tuned his portable radio. By behaving as though I was taking a photo of the nearby market cross I caught this single frame of him and I’m sure he was completely oblivious of my presence, despite the fact that I was standing only six feet from him!

Excellent capture. There's something about a radio that can demand such concentration - maybe it's because they aren't always as easy to tune as we'd like. Jarvo · 2011-05-06: 21:40
