Stranger #29 - Sebastian

I just about rugby tackled Sebastian to the ground near Grey's Monument, Newcastle.

 

He was plugged into his music and couldn't hear my pitiful 'excuse me' cries... so I grabbed him - not wanting this gorgeous stranger to slip through my fingers.

 

What a nice, easy-going friendly lad. He was rushing back to work (at the tattoo and piercing place in Eldon Square surprise surprise) so I didn't have long. I had to think quickly where to 'put' him, spotted the corrugated shutters, liked the perspective effect and took a couple of shots.

 

I was fascinated by Sebastian's amazing ear lobes where he'd had one of those big disc things in. He told me he knew someone who could get a coke can through their ear hole. Blummin heck!

 

It would have been great to have had time to chat some more, but with a friendly handshake, Sebastian went on his way.

 

Thanks Sebastian for letting me take your picture. You are my most colourful stranger to date, and I'm so glad I (literally) ran into you. :) :)

 

Sebastian is #29 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
