Man at the bus stop

I couldn't keep my eyes off what this man was wearing, so rather than embarrass myself further though staring, I complimented his dress sense and started chatting.

He said he was a spiritual traveller from Africa, wandering the world (he was probably from Willesden).

Eventually I asked if I could take his picture. Initially he said no, but then relented saying that as I'd asked him so gently I could.

It was only when I got out the camera that he realised what he'd let himself in for however, so I was only allowed one shot. This was a shame because with a little bounce flash this could have been a great picture.
