self-portrait in w1... with my friend chris







my friend chris moved to canada 4 or 5 years ago.
he's the one i blame for canada being number 3 on my list of blog
followers. i don't know anybody else in canada apart from chris...
perhaps he tells everybody he meets about my ramblings ?

anyway, he's back in england for a week and on friday we arranged to
meet for a quality coffee and a catch up.
we met in the nordic bakery ( of course ) and while chris took a call...
... i took a sneaky photo of him with my x100








before we said our goodbyes i thought it would be an idea to shoot a self-portrait
of the two of us, so i set my gf1 on the back shelf of my jam jar and put it on a 12 second timer...
grrr !
just as the camera took the shot, a load of people walked by.
i didn't check the shot as we were in a rush. i just assumed the bloke had blocked us
so i took another shot... but as it happened the people walking by work quite
well don't they ?








anyway, here's the other shot i took with the gf1 on self-timer.
nobody walked past us so i knew it would be ok and i didn't bother checking
it until i got home... what a shame... i wish i had checked it...
look at the girl on the left, sitting in pret... she'd spotted what we were up to and
joined in with the posing ! what a girl !

i wish i'd checked it, as i would have gone in and showed it to her...
i really think it makes the shot don't you ?

good to see you again chris. top man.
( and whoever you are... top girl )
