The good and the bad of people and law enforcement. Mistakes on both sides lead to death and riots in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. George Perry Floyd Jr. was an African American man who died during an arrest after allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill in Minneapolis. In the month since George Floyd died, the scene of his death has become a sprawling unofficial gathering place and mourning site. The city has blocked off the intersection to traffic, and visitors flock to 38th Street and Chicago Avenue to pay their respects with flowers, signs, and murals.
George Street is one of the main streets of the city of Sydney. Until 1810 George Street was generally referred to as High Street in the English custom. George Street was named for King George III of the United Kingdom by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1810. (Wikipedia)

George was no 48 in my 100 Strangers Project . I bumped into him in Town with his mate Tigran and they asked for a few shots as they went off to play football.
Most of the shots were taken by the Teardrop Memorial in the Abbey Gardens Bury St Edmunds Suffolk .
This garden is the venue for the annual Holocaust Memorial Day Service, held each year on 27th January for all victims of genocide. It also commemorates the massacre of 57 Jewish residents to this place on Palm Sunday 19th March 1190.

Having met up with everyone else that came along on Sunday we walked back down to Trafalgar Square to meet our first strangers - and I met George.
I was overlooking the square as I saw George wandering across it towards the steps in the corner so I headed in that direction expecting to meet him at the bottom of the steps - I wasn't that lucky, half way down was as far as I had got, George was easily moving at a much faster pace than I imagined and as I introduced myself to him although he slowed in his ascent of the steps he still didn't stop. I very quickly explained why I wanted to photograph him and though he agreed with a very warm smile he still didn't stop ascending the steps. I could tell straight away this was going to be either great fun or a complete disaster.
In my mind George almost demanded a whole photoshoot to himself, there were so many details that seemed to all add together to make up this character. A couple of quick portraits and we had reached the top of the steps and George finally paused, "gotta keep movin' man" - it was obvious that I wasn't going to get as long with George as I really wanted so I stood back to get a full length shot with Nelsons Column in the background - George struck his pose for a couple of seconds and was off again. A quick handshake, a handover of my card, a final question about what he does - "I'm a woodworker, I make furniture" and with pencil and sketch pads in hand he was off.
A character in the classic sense and maybe even an enigma, I wish I had spent longer with George, I assumed the photos pinned to his scarf are his loved ones but I'll never know, perhaps that's how he likes it.
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in the shots, I don't think they capture the warmth of his spirit - and certainly not the speed that he moved - but considering everything they could have been worse :)
Thank you for agreeing to take part in the project George.
