Jan 5th, 2016: British Drunks

[xoxoxoBruce]

For some reason drunks lying in the streets on New Years Eve warms the cockles of British hearts. It must be a deep rooted thing like hearing Auld Lang Syne, because thousands wiped away a nostalgic tear and lauded this photograph on the Manchester Evening News website.



Now the drunk getting cuffed by the cops is already getting an earful from the red dress, imagine what he'll suffer when he gets home tomorrow.
The hookers and ne'er do wells on the far corner seem to be entertained, and I think the photobomber on the left is contemplating stealing the beer.
The chick behind the red dress facing the cop must be singing God Save The Queen, because the cop in the center is saluting.

On twitter someone extoled the composition(or crop) as perfect because it fits the Fibonacci sequence.
One tweety reproduced it in watercolor, and yet another in oil.


Then for reasons beyond me, they started posting tweeting photoshops of the drunk with the blue jacket in famous paintings, and landscapes, like he's a national hero. Curiouser and curiourser
