I was out shooting some street photography this weekend in Calgary. I saw this guy on a street corner and couldn’t help but notice his mannequin head sticking out of his shopping cart haha. I imagine him walking around talking to this head, but I don’t know, I could be way off! All’s I know, is if I was walking around with a mannequin head all day I’d probably start talking to it haha.
I am not really in the habit of asking people if I can take their picture on the street, I usually just do it. However, when you run into a guy with a head sticking out of his shopping cart and a sharp ski poll on the side of it, better just ask a brotha haha. So in this case I did just that and the guy was more than happy to let me take a picture. It’s nice to see someone who can be having that ruff of a go at life still be able to smile when seeing the joy some one else get’s from their little eccentricities.
I hope things turn around for this guy! Good luck out there you two ;).

Great street photography. You have captured the image with real sensitivity.
Thank you 🙂
Excellent blog Rob. It’s clear that you were able to make him smile 🙂
Thanks Marcus! 🙂
leastwise we know he keeps a cool head…..
🙂
I’d probably start talking to it too.
Haha good stuff Cardinal 🙂
Rob I love that you asked him. Those on the fringes rarely have anyone ask their permission for anything. ❤

Thanks Diana ;).
Rob, it makes sense to me! Although it’s the opposite, I talk to my girls all the time. Of course they have no heads or arms… just a body! “lol”

LOL Awesome! 🙂
His gloves do not match, but at least he has two! He looks pleasant, so I too hope he catches a break sometime.
Yes he was indeed pleasant :).
