I’m a well-centered individual. There’s not much that gets me flustered. Generally, I’m as calm as a python digesting a valium addict. But when I come across a great shot that is about to get away and my damn camera is packed in my bag I start fumbling about like an epileptic break dancing. It’s not a pretty sight. But it always makes my friend Noom giggle. So there is that.
Walking down the street in Chiang Mai one day, having just hit one wat and facing a bit of a stroll before the next, I put my camera back in my bag. And then this guy came peddling out of a side street. It wasn’t quite the shot I wanted, but I was quick enough to catch an acceptable image. I don’t know what his story was, and don’t know that I would have really wanted to find out. Crazy people are best enjoyed at a distance. But he seemed to have found his purpose in life, and really, what more can any of us ask for?
I don’t know if the rifle is real or a toy. He did a pretty good job with his ‘uniform’ though. But it’s that sling shot that worries me!

But the subject is not far-fetched, at the end of WWII we had bicycles with a holder for two bazookas:
