Lord John
Walking through Covent Garden with no real intention of taking any photographs, my attention was caught by this thoughtful-looking gentleman.Fortunately I did have my camera, and I took this shot. It was published in ‘The Ava Guide to Outdoor Photography’ (Thames and Hudson).
Lord John belongs to the following groups:
Candid Photography ( 1/24 ) , Film Photography, Kairos, Medium and Large Format Film Photography, Street Photography and Photojournalism and The Human Condition Available for sale asGreeting Cards

another beautiful capture David – i love the tones – they have a wonderful richness – i love the depth of field and how the man seems like he is in a world of his own. I think the post is incredible – i shimmers off the screen and looks so silvery – almost liquid silver – just brilliant.
Tracey Bransfield
Lord John indeed! Quite well dressed but certainly not happy…....
I love the movement in the background making the subject stand out….
Simon Mears
he only just belongs in this picture, he is so sharp, the background, everywhere outside him and the post, being fabulously urbam, movement and business.. maybe this chap is taking a breather.
Catherine Davis
Beautiful photo. I love it!
SylviaHardy
Brilliantly executed photograph David!
Tania Rose
This is a FANTASTIC IMAGE, David. I agree with Simon, as he looks almost like he’s in a parallel universe to the world around him. I’m not surprised to hear it was published. Awsome work!
Ciaran O'Hagan
yeah its great..he’s just standing there reflecting, whilst the world is zooming past him

Graeme Pettit ...
This caught my eye whilst browsing someone elses favourites – a cracking image, and your subject is well featured. The nice low angle gives strength, and the motion a certain timelessness. Superb work.
david malcolmson replied
Many thanks, Grraeme.
Marnie Kirkness
wonderful, just wonderful.
marshall calve...
hi David, what a great shot the face is full of character, my roots are in b/w so this hits the sweet spot
Emoto
The shot is so simple but capturing …...... well done.
Out of curiosity, did u use panning technique of this or something else?
david malcolmson replied
Thanks for your comment, Emoto. I cannot remember exactly, it was taken many years ago.When I scanned the neg several years ago I might have added some motion blur.
pryere
As John is my `real` name, this obviously appeals. Great shot.
