Juan the Shoeshine

Juan Valles making an empassioned plea to crack down on pick-pockets while he polishes my summer shoes ready for the hot, dusty months ahead!

He's been a limpiabotas for 30 years but has only been on this post outside the Radio Barcelona HQ for two.

Not an easy shot to take given the weight of my kit and the need to keep my right leg out of shot - needless to say, I wasn't looking through the viewfinder at the moment of shutter release!

Viewing in large is probably better again..
