Ken; The Lime stone Cowboy.

[Diego Garcia]

'I have always been a cowboy'

'People take the **** but I love the cowboy way'

'Lived in South Bristol all my life, never been on a horse'

'Used to smoke strong marlboros....I had to pack them in due to my asthma'

'John Wayne? You mean The Duke - pilgrim!'

All shot AM today on the 50mm prime @ F8. Comments welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Diego.

Aww.. bless him Good set of shots Diego. I like the processing you have used on them too - really adds to the 'feel' of the shots.

Great set of shots Diego. Atmosphere great as usual

 

[Diego Garcia]

Thanks all. I think that these may be my best work yet, in that I dialled back the PP but used just enough to eek out the atmosphere.

Ken was/is amazing, a real gem in city of non discript people, I salute him for being different, having the strength to wear this gear and a wonderful attitude to go with it. Everywhere he goes he turns heads. Sometimes the wrong ones but it was a pleasure shooting these in Bristols large shopping centre.

Man we had some looks

I like the last one, the whole 16:9 widescreen cowboy movie feel.

I must try and find him to give these to him

I agree with your coments about the PP. just right
i think it deffinately works better in colour. The last one is my fav too
