Broom Man

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 6 March 2008 in People & Portrait.

Still not back totally, but I just wanted to drop a quick post. Thanks for all your comments on my last post. I'm sorry I can't get to visit your blogs as I want to, but it will be back to normal soon.

Once Again not much of a quality shot, I just had to snap one of the broom man. Those brooms were so long I couldn't capture the tip of the broom on either end from where I was.

Oh I think this is a spectacular shot of the broom man, working in his very interesting street environment. He appears serene as he surveys his surroundings.

The missing ends adds some mystery to the shot. I was wondering what it was all about until I read the description.
