man, myth & legend (R.I.P.)

Sebastian Horsley in profile. I took this surreptitiously 2 weeks ago at an artists' fair in East London. I wanted to engage him, maybe for my 100 Strangers project, but for some reason my courage wilted as I approached and I settled for this candid. Figured I'd see him again in my London wanderings and maybe approach him then. Guess I figured wrong. Just saw this morning in the news that he died yesterday... so I fished out this negative and scanned it in.

A standout eccentric in a city piled high with interesting characters. If you look up the word debauched, there ought to be photo of Mr. Horsley.
