I met Stan on my walk along a cycle route in Nottinhamshire today, Stan was collecting wild Brambles, I stopped to ask if I could take a shot of him for my strangers images, he gave me his name and a little about himself, Stan's wife passed 8 years ago, she made all the bramble and apple pies plus bramble jam, with the brambles they collected together this time of year, after she died he learned to cook and bake and is quite good at it although he still can't do it as well as she could, I wished him well and carried on with my walk
A lovely shot of Stan! Such a poignant story with those brambles! Well done, Peter- you have a way of making people feel comfortable in opening up, I think. Fav
This is such a great image. I can’t help but think that he would love for you to send the photo to him. I suppose that would mean he would no longer be a stranger. 😊
@365projectorgheatherb Many thanks for your wonderful comment and adding this as a Fav Heather it’s appreciated, people in the UK are generally open to a smile and good morning, you can quickly tell if you can get them to agree to a photograph I tend to not ask many:)
@louannwarren Thank you Lou Ann for your great comment and Fav as always they are appreciated, I did show him the image in live-view and he was pleased with it but didn’t want me to email him a copy, just think every friend you have ever known was a stranger once, lol:)
