Spy Cam!

[Rob MacKillop]

God, I must have been bored yesterday. I decided to pretend I was a spy, taking photos of another spy. Just a bit of fun!

Boredom is the food of imagination (or so a recent study claims!). Well in this case it paid off and you've produced a super mini-series. Great venue too and I like the PP; very appropriate!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks. It's the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, one of my favourite places. Don't know who the guy was. But clearly he was full of mal intent!

 

[Pete Askew]

As shifty as they get! Actually I like these as they overlap with a theme I have been toying with for a few years (but have yet to progress) for stills from imaginary films - moments full of apparent meaning but without the story that makes them make sense.

Deep and meaningless

 

[Beth Carter]

love the tones, they go well with the classical architecture and furnishings.

 

[Paul Lange]

Good idea Rob and the images do seem to imply some kind of background narrative. Did you have to make good your escape with a set of rocket powered skates and exploding chewing gum afterwards?

 

[Pete Askew]

No, but he did anyway!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You guys!

 

[Brian Moore]

Spy 3, for whatever reason, seems the stand out for me personally. Who is he? What;s he doing? Is he speaking with someone that we can't see because of the wall? Mystery! VEry nice, Rob.

 

[Pete Askew]

And I'm pretty sure that is a small pistol he is holding!

Rob, I bet if you enlarged this...

And if the next celebrity to turn up for tea unannounced is Vanessa Redgrave, I'd watch your step!

Thanks, Brian. It was fun doing it, and seeing the reaction makes it all worthwhile.

Pete - that's funny. A silly film, but, I'd better check the news items against my files...just in case...
