I flew back into town yesterday after a short trip and while waiting for my bag I saw this guy standing at the Hertz counter. It is easily the longest hair I've ever seen. It was so long that the bottom had several folds tied together to keep it from dragging on the ground behind him. LX1, 400 ISO.

Okay, that's depressing to see

What do you mean, "depressing?" Just think of all the small critters he is providing homes for.

albertwang · 09/05/06, 06:07 PM

well, all the weight of the hair would cause him to tip over...

fotografr · 09/05/06, 06:21 PM

I hate to think what would happen if he ever fell into water. That hair would take him to the bottom like a rock.

Unbelievable....simply unbelievable.

I think this one tops the "Bear" shots, Brent!

Thanks for sharing.

Sure that you got a picture of a Homo Sapiens?

Of course, homo habilis does hang out at Hertz too.

There were a lot of amazed people at the airport looking at this guy. I had three seperate individuals come up to me after seeing me discretely take this shot to ask if I would email them the photo.

Did he rent a cabriolet?

Well seen.

Enjoyable discreet catch. Probably swept a few floors and stair steps with that hair. And hope he assures complete "hair" exit from elevators, taxis and buses.

"Just think of all the small critters he is providing homes for" :-D :-D :-D
It would make a great animated adventure film.

No Photoshop here, Al. This one is completely real.

If no butterflies, maybe a hair extension? I am just in disbelief!

Nope. Not one inch. It's all just as you see it.

Disgusting.

What I like is the look on the face of the car rental guy, until this moment he thought that he had the coolest long hair!

Well caught,

Pete.

Excellent record shot ... expect a few agencies could sell it many times over.
