October 8 2005:
Chained

Decided to see what opportunities Kingston-upon-Thames would bring for me today. It’s a busy shopping centre, and I do find that weekends are best for candid photography. There are also more likely to be street entertainers out.

This man tried to tell the crowds that this was his first time, after a challenge made over a pint last night.

Really???

Photoshop:
Cropped and Resized
Converted to Grayscale
Duotoned using Pantone Black 2C
Adjusted in Curves and Contrast

So, did you unlock the chain after you clicked the shutter?

Abstract, powerful and meaningful Ray. The choice to bind himself for others entertainment, says something about us who watch him...humans like suffering, but they also like overcoming challenges...

Hope you saw fit to offer him a blanket
so he could try to get out again in the morning.
