Alphabet August - U for uniform

This is Richard and he was out in town distributing leaflets for an event at the cathedral.

This is a first for me. I have NEVER chased after anyone for a photo and I have NEVER stopped and asked anyone if I can take their portrait.

No Hazel, it isn't the start of a 100 stangers project!

[Anne]

Well done you!! A first is always exciting. Oh, and fabby portrait too, worth the chase ;-)

[Padlock]

Well done the first is the hardest now it is easy. How about entering for Photo a Hundred Strangers!!

[Diana]

You are so funny Jackie, I have to smile at your narrative! A great portrait, there is a first for everything 😉

[Wendy]

Funny narrative! Well worth the chase!

[Carole Sandford]

Did your mummy not tell you “ never speak to strangers”?? He looks a friendly sort mind!

[JackieR]

@carole_sandford member of the church- must be safe surely!!!
@farmreporter his cloak billowed behind him as I ran after him!!
@ludwigsdiana and possibly a last!!
@padlock you didn't read my message to @quietpurplehaze !!
@365anne most kind Anne!! Ta muchley

Terrific capture and uniform a great find Jackie.

[Babs]

Anyone who is walking through town wearing a costume like this is asking to have his photo taken. I am sure he was thrilled that you chased him.

[amyK]

Very nice portrait (& great mental image of the chase)

[Walks @ 7]

Richard looks like he enjoyed this.

[Margo Sayer]

I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought 'Hazel'. Lovely, lively shot. Reflect perhaps on how this made you feel in terms of buzz, pushing barriers etc. Say no to doing more by all means, yet please make a considered decision. This is arresting, positive and upbeat; please reflect.

[Casablanca]

Ha ha, well done. Yes, I thought Hazel when I saw the thumbnail too!! You're very brave

[Rob Z]

I found this to be a very arresting image - a combination of the austere uniform and the very kind face?

[JackieR]

@robz bemused I think!
@casablanca hmmmmm, couldn't do it 100 times!!
@s4sayer reflected, and ummmm no.
@joysabin he was a tad surprise
@amyk I wasn't running, just stalking, doggedly
@onewing that's true
@wendyfrost full length cloak with hood!

[Padlock]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I did read your comment and was trying to persuade you to enter it as obviously you knew about it. Was only trying to encourage you to a very fruitful genre of photography. Sorry I appear to have not read your comment.

[JackieR]

@padlock it was typed tongue in cheek!! It's not a challenge that appeals, but I must admit I was pleased I did succeed here!! Thank you for your encouragement, means a lot to me. X
