Have you ever looked at the airbrushed perfection of the models, and lifestyle we are told to aspire to have in advertising posters. And then looked at the reality of the struggle around us.

The poster is for Peter Mark an expensive and posh chain of hair salons in Ireland.

I was walking down this street, when the man in the wheelchair came rolling up beside me. I kept walking beside him, until I saw the men at the bus stop. I stayed in the spot waited for him to go between the men and advert, raised the camera focused then shot. And put it away before anyone noticed me.

My aperture was set to 5.6 (DOF), and the film in it was Ilford hp5 400ISO, for good speed of moving shots.

This photo was taken on Georges street Dublin, in the last week of September.
