Cable Guy III - Merry Christmas Everyone!

Posted by Duncan Galbraith (kyoto, Japan) on 25 December 2006 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This concludes the cable guy series, I hope you enjoyed it as much as this guy seemed to enjoy hanging around. Your feedback was, as always, most welcome.

Whether you're celebrating today or not, I wish you and yours all the best for today and beyond. Take care of yourselves, and I'll be looking forward to sitting down at some point tonight, post-turkey to see what you've all been upto.

Merry Christmas!

Ah, the money shot! Very nice; I take back everything I said about him looking like a spider/insect. Happy Christmas to you and yours, Duncan!

@Damon Schreiber: ;-) Think he'd like the first reference though, who doesnt wanna be spidey? Happy Christmas to you and yours too!

Addey from London, United Kingdom

Seasons Greetings to you too, Duncan!

I've enjoyed the current B&W series. The Cable Guy being the icing on the cake. Well done.

@Addey: Thanks Addey, the black and whites have been fun but I fancy a bit of colour from here on in...starting tomorrow. Merry christmas Addey, you got yourself a white christmas this year? I remember up North we had a few but theyre a rarity.

Ali-G from Ottawa, Canada

Hey Duncan - Hope you're having a great Christmas. Don't forget the Christmas KFC - a real Japanese tradition! lol Merry Christmas (and great shot btw)

25 Dec 2006 2:57pm

@Ali-G: ;-) Christmas KFC was not on the menu this year, as I managed to procure a rather small turkey which I had to almost kick into my rather small japanese oven. Next year I may resort to tradition as It all seemed like a bit too much work this year. Merry Christmas to you and yours ALi-G!

benjamin from Singapore

looks like hes enjoying himself alot. great shot! did he pose for u? o.. merry christmas=)

26 Dec 2006 4:02am

@benjamin: Thanks benjamin and indeed merry christmas to you. He didnt pose but his friend was talking away to him saying things along the lines of 'look at the camera!' but he was pretty focused on the task at hand. Finally when he was coming down he cracked a grin.

Evelyn from New Milford, United States

This one's my favorite in the series, because it's got a real focus on the guy. He got a little lost in the second one, which was perhaps the point--that was some jungle of cables!
But the nice contrast and the grittiness of his tools really make this photo.

27 Dec 2006 2:32am

@Evelyn: Hey Evelyn. Yes, the 2nd was posted to really give an overview as to the chaos of the environment and his position in it, but as its christmas, I figured the final post should indeed be 'happy'. I was so happy when he started beaming away as he'd been totally stoic before coming down!

Iqsr from Paris, France

that's a nice intense pic
