Publishing phenomenon
9 December 2005 (84)

Salisbury, UK

I deliberately didn't get the guy's name: but this was the very friendly Big Issue seller in Salisbury town centre today.
He was a little reticent about having his photograph taken... -- it was his hat I was really after, though...! -- but he allowed me this single shot.

Luckily, he'd picked a sunny patch to trade from (to keep warm -- it was bitterly cold...): so he was in the light,
and the background wasn't... -- although I couldn't persuade him to face me directly....

Very nice candid Stephen. The crop is well done also.

Love the candidness of this image. The colourful and novelty of the head add interest. Wow, haven't been to Salisbury for ages.
