[Chris Bennett]

What can I say?
It happened and I had a camera with me!

And with a bowler behind. Another fine addition, Chris.

Well spotted!
The patina on the new glass is coming along nicely, don't you think?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I can't see her behind...

 

[Dave Farnes]

Another great image.

Crackin’ series! The colour ones have an almost Saul Leiter vibe

Thanks Hamish!
Funnily enough, you are not the first to compare some of my images to Saul Leiter. Pete has mentioned it on a couple of occasions. I had never heard of him, and had to go and seek him out. I saw a lot of my own stuff in his work.

 

[Hamish Gill]

It’s a comparison I’d be pretty bloody chuffed with!!

 

[Chris Bennett]

I am rather flattered!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks Hamish!

Never heard of Pete before?! He's a LEGEND!

 

[Hamish Gill]

If Pete is the legend round these parts, then I must be the myth…?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

On a good day Nice to hear from you, Hamish!

 

[Pete Askew]

We use the 'Myth of Hamish' to scare off new members - works most times, but Chris slipped through!

You could always blow the whole myth thing out of the water by posting some pictures though!

 

[Chris Bennett]

It's been a while since I posted an image in this thread, but the project lives on.
Having said that, this is an old one from March 2021, back at the time when the glass in the booth was pretty close to 'peak patina'!

Against all odds

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Thank you Chris for revitalizing this thread so I saw it - just MARVELOUS

 

[Dave Farnes]

My first thought is; "Eek, serial killer!" That is a brilliant shot.

You're very welcome!
Thanks for the kind words.
I suspect that the box is going to be giving forth for quite some time to come - it never seems to fail to provide something new.

Thanks Dave.
The ones where the subject is turned to face the camera are almost always at least a little bit scary!

 

[Brian Moore]

It's like what I think a Picasso photograph might look like. Wonderful.
