The first time I saw it I almost fell over because the guy on the left could be my father, and the guy on the right his half-brother, my uncle John. Uncle John could be your guy from the Octoberfest, except he’s 89 now and doesn’t move quite that well any longer.
Haha, nice capture. On my Oktoberfest safaris I did on the last days, I had several chances to photograph drunk or/and puking people, but I refused to do so because of respectfulness for those victims of this fill up machinery.. 😉 But you did it right.
@Johannes: It would probable have not been very wise to try photographing him when/if he’s drunk… No, he was probably completely sober and walking *to* the Octoberfest. But I have rarely seen such a powerful ‘gestalt’.
I hope he doesn’t encounter any closed doors!
Scary posture. That guy means business… 🙂 Great capture!
Markus, this picture makes me think some relatives. Look at this famous picture by Sander: http://www.vam.ac.uk/images/image/41125-popup.html

Sorry, Markus, I thought he was drunk because he seems to move a bit.. drunk. Will read picture’s description better next time. 🙂
funny shot … a very strong man … it seems like he rolls 🙂
