did i mention i was interviewed for a korean magazine a few weeks ago ?
true story.
a couple of journalists and a photographer made their way over to n7
to listen to my long stories and to try and take photos of me smiling.
luckily for my blog, i had my very own photographer to record the event.
( thanks to la niña for having my back and for the excellent pics )
1
this was my least favourite, least comfortable part of the afternoon.
being asked to sit and smile. posing for photos is not really my thing.
2
look how miserable and uncomfortable i am.
3
oh well. at least somebody was enjoying it.
4
check out my hand gestures.
as the boss knows only too well, when i sit like that and start gesturing with my hands
i'm telling a long story that will have no punch-line.
5
this is probably 5 minutes later and i'm still telling the same tale,
going off at tangents.
6
even la niña was getting bored and started trying to find some arty angles.
not bad at all.
7
the korean photographer goes about her business while i keep
the journalists on the edge of their seats.
8
then again, look at the body language here.
they are leaning forward, hanging onto my every word.
perhaps in the hope that i will one day finish my story.
9
ok, now they're getting bored. looking at each other and whispering in korean.
10
i've no idea what i was talking about here.
maybe my love of coffee ? my ideas for sock design ? my collection of hair product.
who knows ?
11
then as suddenly as my story began...
it ended.
sighs all around and i learned the korean for "is that it ?"
and "was there any point to that story ?"
12
oh hello.
i did take one photo myself.
i wonder if this is the pic they will use in their magazine ?
the one the photographer is taking here.
one of me with a camera in front of my face ?
13
oh right, i remember... i took this pic before handing over my camera to
la niña for the predictable finale to this post.
14
this is when i said they should watch me for posing tips.
15
and finally.
i've got to say a big thank-you to the korean girls. it was quite a pleasant
way to spend a couple of hours and i can't wait to see the published article.
will somebody photoshop a smile onto my face ?
will somebody re-write my words to include a punch-line ?
keep checking back here and i'll show you in a month or so.
