Interesting scene though, especially with the Worlds End Pub in the background there
Sweet sweet irony

Ya, I've been there before and I sorta know that crazy preacher guy. If you ever see him ask if he has "knowledge and understanding of sin". Sadly he is not allowed to preach there any more because he is an obstruction.

Haha, fantastic. Was this done purposely, or was it found after you looked at your photos again?

Shooting the subject was done purposefully, the framing for this was one of a few quick shots the second time around (when i passed the guy again an hour latter ) where i had a lot better perspective and backdrop (the Worlds End
) on him than the original ones.
So kind of a mixture of both i guess This one was my favorite out of the four or five i had, glad you liked it!

If this isnt one of the greatest examples of decisive moment photography, I dont know what is.
That PLUS irony, makes a photo I like

'decisive moment photography'
I've never heard that term before. Is that a fancy term for street shooting? I like it
Glad you liked the photo

I normally don't fave DD's cuz I try to give less popular art a chance, (plus I only fave something I REALLY like) but omg this is great. xD It's so funny! I wonder if that guy ever really realized where he was... or why you were taking a picture of him. hahahah.

heh I have a preacher who comes onto my college campus and yells at people.
he calls short haired girls lesbians... long haired guys gay
and everyone else he throws a bible at and tells them not to "do that stuff"
he makes me laugh... alot.

Is that the pub that has the basement for gigs? If so i think i've been in there. Just so you know...

CKYgirl In reply to MarkioS14 [2006-07-28 20:37:47 +0000 UTC]
Yeah it probably is the same place you're thinking of. The World's End is the pubs name and The Underworld is downstairs where the bands play.

I used to go to shows there on nearly a weekly basis, but after being on the wrong side of the ocean for eight years, I had forgotten the name of that place.
Great shot.

Hah, that's an awesome picture! Your timing is incredible And I agree with you. Just because Jesus is alive doesn't mean we have to act like nut cases in order to convice people of it.
I hope he's not alienating people!
Congrats on getting a DD for this. Way to go!

Thanks for the congrats.
And i agree, you dont have to be ultra over spoken to tell people about Jesus, it's so much easier than all that and telling others quietly and honestly usually wont scare them away either!
