Liberty

While finishing up and assignment in El Cajon, California, I noticed this guy all dressed up like the Statue of Liberty waving an American flag, promoting a tax preparation service. I’ve seen and photographed them before, and especially during tax season they seem to be everywhere. They all have their unique ways of getting the attention of people passing by, and they got mine too. After all, they’re live sized advertisements. It was the flag, and the way the mid-morning light was lighting-up the flag that compelled me to shoot it. Lady Liberty helped too.
