vodka jellyatrics

so, don't fret people, i have yet more awesome old men......


walking my dog this morning i saw this chap.



this is albert


this guy is a legend.... and very blurry


stan lee?


I've been having a slight dilemma about the cut off age for my old men photos. this guy is officially my cut off age. it would help if i knew how old he is. 
he was at an oi! gig i went to last night, and "danced" as if someone had lassoed his wrist and was getting dragged about trying to keep up with his right hand.
it was special.


on the bus to the 4th drinking establishment ventured last night. my buddy piemans ear and if u look very carefully, u might spot an old man...


way to work this morning


dave works in waitrose


 3rd drinking establishment from last night... i love how angelic the lighting makes him.


way to work this morning again. old men LOVE the mornings.


my eye and an old man with nipples (i'm getting real smooth at taking photos over my shoulder. 


scottish john


scottish keith. 

right, til next time!

fig rollin'

wow, this is going swimmingly. i already have a bunch more to post.

most were taken after work, on the way to the tube, and then in barnet when i went out skating. speaking of which, skating and photographing are not hobbies that go hand in hand. they hear u coming a mile away......

but, first up (i cant believe i almost forgot to post this one!)

ladies n gents, may i present to you..... the lovely Frankie.


met him in a pub and couldn't not get his photo... he's quite the silver fox.


apparently i made him the 'happiest man alive' that night by giving him a kiss. bless


i can spare some change if i can take ur photo


i dunno why, but this guy is really familiar. 


this guys hair was amazing. he turned just as i took the photo, but u get the idea


this guy was unimpressed ... skateboard.... heard me coming so i ended up sitting at a bus stop for 10 mins til he lost that suspicious glare.


ran outta work this morning and halfway down the block to get this guy....


this is Dr Roberts.


dont think this guys bus is ever coming. i know the feeling.


way to work this fine morning


again, way to work, not such a fine morning for him by the looks of it. 
:(


and last but by absolutely NO MEANS LEAST...

may i present to you, Chilton. 

sent to me on facebook by a friend of Hana. he learnt to sew and embarked straight upon a tailored jacket. he also only wears hand knitted socks.
awesome.

til next time....

the beginning of the end.


Right, as many of you know (well, those who follow my other blog....) i have recently started taking photos of old men. i have also established some faithful old man minions in my endeavours.... who are helping out. big thanks to Banni, Ella and Hana. (Banni n Ella, i lost all your old men but one.... my phone sucks....)

This is not a blog about deprecating old men. It's most definitely celebratory old man blog. Just so we're clear. I like old men. Old men are good. Hooray for old men.

However, if u see an old man u know (or yourself, although i highly doubt there is a high probability of that happening.... i'm not saying old men can't use modern technology.... but c'mon.... statistically it's a very very slim chance.......) and you would like to be removed, pls e mail me HERE! Same e mail if any o' y'all wanna submit some old men.

I have to say, while setting up my new old man friendly e mail. (it really is, it's weloveoldmen@yahoo.co.uk ) this was my security code..... doesn't really bode well.....


anyways, the old men were originally getting compiled for a book.... maybe the 'book of the dead' no... tasteless..... anyways, gave up on that idea, coz i'm pretty sure i'd wind up getting sued or something. i seem to be good at that.

So, without further ado.... here are my old men to date.... 
(i mean to date like til now..... this isn't an old man dating website.)


he was my first. he's the specialistest everrrrrrrrr


this guy was my 2nd.



banni stopped traffic to get this <3


Scottish old men r cool


my favourite so far


love him. don't think he loves hana too much.


ooh, or is he my favourite?! i ran round the block to get photos of this guy, and still didn't get a good one. luckily he lives on the same street as my local.


this is more of a "how not to photograph an old man"


i got this guys e mail and everything.


i was trying a new technique with this one, where u just stand with ur camera and wait for them to cross ur path. not too shabby


i've been neglecting old men with lady friends, but fuck it, i'll post this one


tout suite


hats rock fat cock


i was doing same 'wait til he crosses my path' technique... he walks way too slow. i gave up waiting and just took it.


i crossed the road in the opposite direction to where i was heading for this guy.


beards are only cool if they compliment ur hair and make u look like an Eskimo.


cut his head off :( 
that's not an admittance to murder.


or is it?



i seem to like chopping heads off people. just call me executioner.


this beard is very well executed. (see what i did there.... did ya)


he stands like me. 


poodle.... i know a poodle when i see one.


hat trick


ladies shoes. comfort over fashion.... or fashion over comfort. i cant decide where he's going with this...


badger


this guy rocked. he took a photo of me, i took a photo of him. fairs fair in love n war. well, not in love..... that's a load of poppycock.


this was fluke. he was literally marching down the road. (can't u tell my the way he's using the weight of his head as forward momentum to pick up kinetic energy?)


i fed a mouse, then i saw him. it was a good day


dandy


cant remember this guy. think it was last night.


this guy was awesome. me and a bunch of people posed with him for ever. almost missed a gig for this guy.


the 1st time i saw this guy there was an empty bloody packet of liver next to him, and he has pretty long fingernails. i kinda convinced myself he was a vampire. he's not a vampire. i saw him out in daylight the other day.
