"KEEP OFF __ASS"

Posted by hugo poon (hong kong, Hong Kong) on 30 October 2012 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

I hope I've read this sign correctly... and I did examine it from a different angle here.

Have a happy S T!!!:-)

Fujifilm X-Pro1 1/1600 second F/2.8 ISO 400 53 mm (35mm equiv.)

I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm an ordinary man but extraordinarily obsessed with capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. It's like an excited traveller craving to record his memorable journey in a memorable way, but in my case, it's the journey of my life ... If I can record my encounters in such a way that they leave an image on the mind of myself and other viewers, it's a tremendous joy and some accomplishment...
In terms of photography, I'm trying to preserve the moments as my eyes see "something" and my heart feels it too. As such, I seldom feel interested in planned, arranged or manipulated photographs...

Ha! Well spotted. Looks like the sign has faded - unlike the vibrant green _ass!

LOL. Funny capture made even more brilliant by your focus and dof with the man in the foreground in the very position he is in as though aware of the sign.
