99 - Body

Theme 39.

Another London Marathon one...

Photobucket

I did a double take when I saw this guy - who definitely had some balls (excuse the phrasing!) to run in this outfit. I was alternating watching and looking through my viewfinder, so sometimes didn't get much chance to rezoom (in or out), frame, focus and shoot a person. This guy I was lucky to get when he was level with me, but what I missed photographing, was his back - which had "Does my bum look big in this?" written on it! [rotfl]

(I was at mile 25 - so it's 99.99% certain he finished, and in a quick time!)

So I'm finally leaving *you* a comment! Isn't that exciting? I love your photo blog, thanks for the heads up that it exists lol. The "body" shot made me laugh out loud, he really does (as I'm sure you saw! lol) have balls to run in that.

I also really love love the pictures from the museum and of the chocolate down below. They're gorgeous!

Yess. excited. I'll be back :)

And woah I just read the whole point of the themes, that's very cool! Great way to stay motivated on posting/shooting, I like it.

To me its funny that the onlookers opposite don't seem too interested in the mostly naked guy. Maybe he wasn't the first (un)dressed like that to pass by?

HaHaHa....that is a body all right.
Great shot for the theme.

Well that's a novel way to keep cool! I love the variety of costumes you managed to capture.

I watched it on TV and loved the Masai warriors best. They were real ones though and trying to raise money for a well in their village (a charity had flown them over). I'm sure they must've finished since they said they currently have to travel 100 miles for water!
