About "OFF MY STREET"!!
Baltimore has many street dwellers who are....perhaps playing with a slightly different deck than most. I followed this very large, very angry man for about 4 blocks, as he ranted and raged to anyone that would listen, about the trash that was being swept down the storm drains. He carried a homemade spear that was about 8 ft long, and a 3-quart pot on his head. I have no idea how much further he made it before the police caught up with him. I had to show him my digital images to calm him (and his spear) down, after he saw me shooting him. The odd thing is; as dangerous as he appeared, he was doing more good than anyone of the "less dangerous" looking locals. The area is Pimlico, northern Baltimore City, only a few blocks from where the "Preakness" horse race is held every year.

I almost entirely desaturated the background, as it detracted from the image, but desaturated him less, as his "garb" was quite striking!

Bradley...whas up?
Great capture of this fearsome inner city dweller ( next time you shoot man with spear, use the 300 end of your lens!) With litter control personel such as this, Baltimore should be a very clean place.

Great description of a man who is very "concerned". Great expression. I once had a bout with a man ( not carrying a spear) that was ready to pounce on me for he thought I was a surveyor . (MY camera on a tripod)

Brad this shot should have been sent into the Sun Paper. Plite of the city's homeless.This guy looks totally nuts.You can tell by his biuld that he is no stranger to the weight room.Im thinking maybe drugs sent him over the edge,any way cool shot.
Good reason to always have your camera with you.

Stupendous image, lighting, colour, clarity, humour, packed full of emotion. This has it all. The Pepsi to quench his thirst after a hard day spearing rubbish, the wonderful incongruity of the pot or maybe it really fits afterall and is that a pink flower at his waist? Surreal, the emotion displayed on his face, the tendons ready to pop in his neck and chest. Simply WOW!!

Thank you, Jon. I must admit, the Pepsi added to the overall surreal scene.

Beautiful. The rage, the incongruity of his outfit against the urban backdrop (and even better, the exquisite irony of the Pepsi bottle). The desaturation of the background is a nice touch and adds to the strength of this already powerful figure. Incredible shot - a seven from me, and a favourite.

Well.........First of all, this is a great street shoot. Amazing what you find on your streets. You're a brave boy and you made a new friend. Bravo! I think this guy is less nuts than most of us. GREAT!!!
C.
PS: Poduct placement will be more and more importand in the future. Wondering if Pepsi...

Brad you have a great way of capturing emotions in your images, with or without people in them. He does look rather angry, and I am glad that you are okay. I like how you desaturated the background, it works well. Another great shot~

So, so cool...you are a very brave man, Bradley. A couple of years ago something similar took place in Seattle but the guy had a sword...cops killed him...sad but true...be careful, my freind.K
