Sean says
The liminal element to this makes the guy work even better.
Lee says
Cheers. I couldn’t have asked him to stand in a better position that’s for sure.
john says
moreso if he is only two manholes away from a swift exit on his bike!
Lee says
That’s very true. It’s a big ask, but I do hope that’s his bike.

What a great suprise to see this. This was just one of many interesting encounters Mrs cdilla and I had on our photowalk tour with Lee last month. Such mysterious alleys and secretive denizens. What was that guy measuring?
I took a rather dull photo of the door, click my name to see the difference between a professional photograph and a tourist snap 🙂
Thanks Lee for a memorable day, and thanks for this reminder of it.
Lee says
The mystery lives on.
Thanks ever so much, that’s really kind of you. It was an absolute pleasure as always, and I wouldn’t have got this photo if we hadn’t been out together. A. nice little reminder for both of us.
Richard says
Is he engaged in something nefarious? Or checking out the aging snack bar for an investment of some kind? With a mask on it is not possible to read his facial expression very well.
I wonder what is around the corner behind him…..
Lee says
No idea to be honest. He was measuring stuff, but what and why I don’t know. Just a narrow, rather dirty little alley behind him. But yeah, masks really do take a lot away from a photo…
