20 January - cold work

Slim pickings for photos today, been inside all day & I've
just about exhausted my "kitchen implement" shots!

Looked out the window & saw this man fixing an aerial back
onto a neighbours roof. It's really cold out there & he
was only wearing a sweatshirt... he looked very, very cold
& a little bit fed up!

And he spotted me taking his pic too! Yikes!

Now he knows where you live! Lock the doors and windows!!!!! btw...the cops tell me it is perfectly legal to shoot anything out in public! With a camera I mean!
David Clunas21-Jan-2007 13:20
looks like he has spotted you, wouldn't really want to be there. Hope you get that break in the weather and time to take advantage

How cool is that?!

Excellent capture and great tone. I thought maybe he was a Chimney Sweep. V

LOL at JJ, I agree, the guy looks cross enough to clout you one.

From what I have been seeing in our press, I would NOT fancy being on a rooftop in that kind of weather.

Great find Nicky, he does look fed up, maybe he's still hanging on tight from the wind like we are!

Fathers 4 Justice? better check your roof in the morning for a banner! ;-)

Sure, Ray, Nicky better to sit on the lounge to relax now!!!!!!Wonderful capture

Real men don't wear coats....;) LOL at Enny - ya - why didn't ya whip him up some fancy hors d'ouevres? I like this shot - neat treatment.

Send him the link I'm sure he'd love to see himself on line! I always worry about people shots too, but many PBasers specialise in street photography, and they obviously don't get punched, so I think we worry unnecessarily. And mothers, teach your sons never to go out without a coat!
JW20-Jan-2007 17:45
Very daring shot!
Lee Rudd20-Jan-2007 17:11
he wont be staging a rooftop protest then!
Guest 20-Jan-2007 16:51
you did not make him a gorgeous soup?
Ray :)20-Jan-2007 16:41
You better start on the lounge!

I'm surprised you didn't end up wearing the aerial!!
