Scotsman in Hosier Lane by Andrew  Makowiecki

Scotsman in Hosier Lane by

This photos was taken in Hosier Lane in Melbourne

I don’t know persons name but I know he came from Scotland, probably from one of the bad bits. He was a bit of an anarchist and complained about a lot of things like Banks having too much power, Seed companies ruining the world, police murdering people, that sort of thing.

When I took the photo I decided to include an opinion that he had voiced on a certain seed and genetic engineering company. You can see his opinion on near the upper left side of the pic

Photo was taken on a Mamiya 645 on medium format film.

    You have captured the character of this man perfectly. He looks like he would be exactly how you describe him as.
    Excellent capture.

  • Thanks Daniel this guy was a real anarchist. He reminded me of a Scottish neighbour I had many years ago. He told me a joke that I can’t put up here but I will email you.

    All the best Andrew

    Congratulations, your work has been featured in “* A Street Story *”: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/a-street-story – 2nd January 2012

    A great shot, a very powerful and expressive street portrait. He reminds me of someone I studied photography with a long time ago. Dundee does a lot of the genetic agriculture, so it possibly could be him. “Happy New Year” Andrew!!!
