This guy is by a landslide the toughest person I’ve ever seen on a mobility vehicle. I had seen him quite a bit around our area but was actually a bit scared taking his picture. I don’t know why, its not like he’s going to catch me…I just think when I looked at him I saw his younger self, all spit and rage on a revved up motorbike, still with the same mohawk and head tats but clad in leather, with a biker chick on the back. He was essentially doing the same thing as he had probably always done…just a lot slower…and without the biker chick.

And so this concludes builder week (apart from a minor space disco interlude) – what is it about men in luminous jackets? I guess they just really stand out for me…drum roll puh-leeasse…

This week features people caught in R.S.P – Random Synchronised Positioning (yes, I did just make that up ). Every now and again chaos appears to have order but it is just an illusion, albeit a aesthetically pleasing one…

All the pictures from this week were taken within minutes of each other as I waited outside Evans for my girlfriend to make a purchase which took like for-eva because there was a whole thing with the till receipt and they had to get the manager who was on the phone and blah di blah di blah…I was instantly bored waiting and then I started to look around and the longer I was there the less bored I got. Its amazing what you can see in London when you stand still.  

I saw people in love, I saw people who hated each other – some were trying to hide it, some not. I saw busy bees and lost souls. Sparks of youth and decrepit old age. I saw every conceivable different type of character from every walk of life, some happy in their skin, some not. When my girlfriend finally emerged I was kind of sad to leave. In London you’re so busy bombing around you don’t realise that the less you move, the more you will observe. I guess I could start loitering outside Evans but that just seems weird but next time I’m stuck somewhere I might just not care. I might even be happy about it.
