Stranger No42

My Friday people this week is Simon the vicar at ST Peters Parish Church in Huddersfield I caught Simon and another vicar moving a sheet of A3 paper over the outside wall of the church, intrigued I asked what they were up to Simon explained they were marking up the position for a defibrillator to be fitted for use in an emergency,
not wishing to miss an opportunity I asked if I could take a portrait of each and they both agreed, other one saved for next Friday.
( My thanks to you all for getting my last three images on the popular page)

What a super image of Simon. He looks such a cheerful sort and you have got such a great focus on his eyes. Fav

@suesouthwood Thank you for your wonderful comments Sue, you would expect a vicar to be cheerful and friendly and he was:)

That sounds a very unusual way to capture not one, but two portraits, Peter. Do you send your subjects a photo? I think Simon would be pleased with his.

@quietpurplehaze Thanks for your comments Hazel, I was with Jorlam @jorlam and said to her I'm just going over to add those two to my strangers gallery, asking what they were up to was just a ploy, I send images if asked at the time or drop off A4 size prints at they place of work, in this case will leave a couple of prints in the church possibly next week:)

I think leaving prints like that is extra special, Peter.

Lovely portrait shot Peter.
Do you often wish that we had a flyer or a type of business card to give to strangers that would make it easier to explain the concept of 365? I do.

@terryliv Thank you for raising a very interesting point Terry, I've often thought we should have some kind of business card with links to the 365 site for people to see our work, may have to come up with something will let you know how it goes:)

Great focus on those piercing blue eyes.. Simon looks a happy chap in this fab portrait and i know from watching, on the sidelines, that he was quite content to oblige with a portrait.. He should be very pleased with this..
