I was on my way back from a commercial shoot, driving through the back strees of Brum and I saw the demolition men collapsing a building. I’m bewildered by this, seems so strange to stand and watch a block of flats go down.
Anyways, was taking a few pics and met this dude and asked to photograph him. Love his AVFC tatoo and I love the image….

He is the priest at he ashram. (and he has the longest eyelashes I have ever seen on a human being!)
