“The brotherhood of photographers”. by johnfalconer

“The brotherhood of photographers”.

Single subject April theme “old” #26

Last night we were waiting to get a table in Chinatown Sydney. 4 people were leaving us their table when one spotted my X-Pro 1 around my neck and he quickly showed me his newer X-Pro 2! (There is now an X-Pro 3) We introduced each other and chatted about cameras for a while and then we decided to take each other’s photo simultaneously. Childish but fun. His name is Brendan.

We parted company and later via text, we exchanged some of the photos we’d taken that night of the street markets.

I also gave him details of 365!!
Oh how fun!!! We hope to see him here!

This is so wonderful! I love it! A fun and delightful experience, and I like the way you presented it.

Brendan has an interesting strap - it looks like a kind of dog leash.

Thanks Karen. The camera case is a converted Praktica case as the Fujifilm case is not good! The green strap or rope was attached to the old case.

An interesting encounter. Oddly enough, I ended up in conversation with an Australien yesterday in Edinburgh. We were both Canon users!

How wonderful - And I love that one capture is color, and one B/W...I hope he decides to join the 365 community.
