Alan, this is a really great image emulating old B&W films, but in a contamporary setting, and for a good cause too! Thanks as ever for the full description - it builds the image so much through understanding.

Hi Alan. As you say, it is often the anomalous situations that produce some interesting contrast shots. Understand entirely why you went for this one and it works well.

An excellent candid character portrait Alan and a superb story to go with it. This one could have been taken early this century if it wasn't for the advertising in the shop window behind!
Great capture of a "character." Well done.

Alan, this is a fabulous picture! You've caught a great expression - one eye closed, pulling on the cigarette. You'd almost expect Jeeves to step into the frame! What a great guy too. John
A great image Alan. I enjoyed your description, but even without that, the image and the copies of Big Issue tell it all.

What a great description and marvellous portrait, thanks for sharing.
very good candid. looks the part in the mono too, G
Captured at just the right time Alan, well suited to Mono, he certainly looks as though he is enjoying that cigarette, one eye closed as he takes the draw and the look of satisfaction . I love the contrast this image portrays, the gentleman dressed in top hat and tails and looking every part the Gent seling the Big Issue.

Simply one of your best photos Alan. The expression you caught is terrific and b&w fits this as perfect as his hat. Congrats
Fantastically funny - I thought; " Burlington Berty from Bow". Having read the story it's really great piece of Journalism!!!! Great picture.

Hi Alan. On a pal's computer. came across this photo of me. Excellent. Thanks also for your comments.The total i managed to raise was £2,800. Have now moved on to another town. Another experience.
Graham Walker, pictured above, caught sight of this image while playing around on a friend's computer. He made contact with me through EPZ. Graham has written a book to raise money for charity (coming out in August 2007) and asked if the image could be used for promotional material - or even possibly on the front cover. I was only too pleased to agree. Nothing confirmed as yet and of course it might not happen, but still great to be asked.
