Charlie Chaplin in Leicester Square, London, November 2017
“A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure”
– from Chaplin’s My Autobiography when he explains his character to Mack Sennett

I love pieces like this written by people who know what they are talking about. I love Chaplin. He is covered in this piece on movie stills if you are interested in film photography https://thestreetphotographersguide.blog/2018/02/07/the-10-greatest-film-stills-for-a-budding-photographer/

Cool photo – looks staged – ha! But the title of the post sucked me right in – clever and the quote was fresh (never head it)

I’ve been reading about him recently, because he had stayed at two of the hotels I was at in Vietnam – on one of his many honeymoons 😉

‘Used to go to London often in the 80’s. Working for a British company. The statue was probably running away every time I got close. Thank you for capturing it Debbie. 🙂

I’ve been there so many times and never noticed him! I will make a point of seeking him out next time.

It has been moved a few times, and was removed for about 6 years before it was put in this spot last year.

I hadn’t seen it before either. At the moment it’s surrounded by the bars and stalls of the christmas market
