This is the same metrocop as 4 days past. he seemed like an alright chap considering he had a lens in font of him. I tried shooting a similar thing in Kyoto and they were having none of it. 'Not the face! not the face!' Mr Kyoto-cop shouted, as if I was compiling a policeman database for some sinister purpose. I actually had to show Mr Kyoto the shots before being allowed to leave the scene. Mr Nagoya or '65V' as I like to call him, was much more nonchalant.
Nagoya City, Japan.

Well done for having the courage and getting that up and personal - terrific post Duncan.

Really? I never tried taking any pictures of Kyoto cops, probably because they look scary and will probably chase me away! Haha!

A formal work of straight reading and of great meaning at the level of the reading ... very well

Nice follow-up portrait of 65V, I must say the processing in this one is fantastic, like something from the mind of Kubrick. Fantastic work as always mate

This is really poetic. I think Chris is on-target with that Kubrick comparison. Great stuff! Where was that wall you were running into?

Yay, Nagoya! I lived there for a year. Very bold photo, though!
