If I had not made this capture myself I would be very suspicious of this picture , the coloured flag shadow on this blokes shirt still seems unlikely to me !

This picture was made towards the tail end of my Another Day Off series , looking back it would appear that I was already shooting the State Of Britain series subconsciously , the flag features heavily in the last few pics of my first serious study of England .

I noticed the phenomenon of this flag shadow from a distance , I noticed that when the breeze blew the plastic flags these colourful shadows appeared on this shirt , he never noticed me as I waited for the the sun and breeze to do their thing with the translucent bunting …

I had not witnessed this “projection” phenomenon before making this picture and have not had the chance to repeat this trick since , as always I’m always looking for more and this picture delivered that too , have you noticed how the fluttering flag on the left aligns perfectly with the mans neck just above his ear , I could never of done that deliberately , the white bits of the flag showing as black on the shirt was also a welcome twist ?

Its these little things that keep me looking and shooting , the world still surprises me with small insignificant events, although these visual treats remain extremely significant to me …
