The Old Town of Bratislava has a wide variety of sculptures, quirky statues and examples of public art. One of the most well known and loved is this dapper silver figure of a man tipping his hat to passers by and visitors to the Old Town Square. Legend has it that this Schone Naci designed statue is modelled on a gentleman named Ignac Lamar. A bit of a ladies man, Ignac was often seen around town at the beginning of the 20th century, passing out flowers, bowing and waving his hat to those who caught his eye. Poor, but always elegantly dressed in a frock coat and top hat, he must have made a lasting impression to be remembered all these years later. This image has added texture to complete the vintage feel.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
