Duke Street, London, 7th October 2006

Most scaffolding is considered an eye-sore especially to tourists who must get really annoyed to find some of London’s many landmarks being blighted by these ugly steel poles, although my friend Nils Jorgensen has somehow managed to get scaffolding shots down to a fine art form. I noticed this huge wooden beam painted red and white and thought it would make a great focal point the way it was lit with much of the remainder of the composition held back in shadow. Then this sharply dressed guy in a mustard jacket came along and stood briefly on the corner in time for me snap this picture.
