Leanin' on a Lampost

Leanin' on a Lampost...Bethnal Green...July 2005

This one I really quite like. It was a darn hot day and we were on one of our walks around the local area, when I spotted this guy leaning on this post to catch his breath. It wouldn't have been remarkable if it weren't for his amazing long hair, and for the fact that a car or something had hit the post at some point setting it at a crazy angle. The way he's leaning on it looks either like he's propping something up or he's pushed it over with his ninja-long-hair-strength. Either way the detail in the jacket, the pose, and the 'character' of the man I think make this a picture that's reasonably good.
