Clean Street Photography
Nothing like a clean street if you are a photographer. Surely that isn’t a tattoo of the Canadian Prime Minister?
Of course it was the back-lit spray in the shot below that caught my eye. Unfortunately it was absent from the action shots of the cleaner.
He stopped to let me pass dryly, but I pointed at my camera and he kindly carried on so I could take photos.
This is one of those situations where I think a square crop works very well, though I hated to lose the hose in the foreground,
and the decorations over the street at the edge of Chinatown.
See the uncropped version at the bottom of this post and feel free to tell me if you agree.

Why does he have to wear those Hely-Hansen trousers? This is not wet-site archaeology, after all. A real west coaster would relish a proper soaking.

A real west coaster would know (ahem) that Helly Hansen raingear is the same as a personal sauna so you get as wet wearing them as not, but less cold.
