Lens-Artists Challenge: People
This week’s Lens-Artists Challenge has the theme of ‘People: Here, There And Everywhere’.
That’s certainly a challenge for me, because as a general rule I tend to avoid photographing people, apart from snaps for the family album. I just don’t feel comfortable about the implicit invasion of privacy, quite apart from the risk of being pursued by an irate ‘subject wielding a baseball bat.
Sometimes, though, my interest will be piqued by somebody rather than something. I captured this image in one of Dubai’s smaller shopping malls while passing a barber’s shop. It was one of those times where I could imagine something a little less mundane than simply a random bloke getting his hair cut. What was the hairdresser thinking at that precise moment?

Excellent choice! Brought me a real smile this morning as my thought was “oh damn, what do I do now?!?!”
Working with the public is so hard, I just hope they were having a good day. Great moment!
It’s wonderful to capture that very moment you got in your photo. Great story and photo!
‘Oops! Too much off the top!!’
A story there…
oh gosh I hope you haven’t ever been pursued by a someone in a baseball cap. lol. Funny. The hairdresser? Hmmm…trying to decide if he is a good tipper? Fun read.
