This shot was taken as part of a series of photos documenting Glasgow. The project focused on capturing abstracted details of the city that speak to it’s unique character. The picture was taken in early spring when it was not quite warm enough for shorts. It’s certainly a stereotype but one that hold up in Scotland, some of the people here act as if their made of iron. Glasgow is a city that has had its share of tension and history has a different quality here. The past rarely seems that remote and there are constant reminders of the glories and horrors of Scottish history. Its quite literally etched into peoples bodies.
