100 Strangers : Round 6 : No. 558 : Anne and Black
I’m usually a few days behind when posting my strangers photos, but this one is from the end of May, when we were on holiday in Mallorca.
We took a bus trip from our village of Cala Mesquida to the vibrant coastal town and working fishing port Cala Ratjada
We do the trip every year as it’s a really photogenic town, with the fishing port, old streets and promenade lined with sculptures, chic boutiques and trendy bars, restaurants and coffee houses.
As we approached the port area I saw Anne and Black, I smiled at them both, pointed at my camera and asked for a photo.
I pointed at myself and said "Me llamo Phil" and then pointed at the dog.
“It’s Black, but not black” we both laughed
I took some photos of Black, it was really tricky, we moved into the shade but the background was bright whitewashed buildings in the sun
I showed Anne the photos of Black and she liked them
“You and Black” and I pointed at them both
They stood together
“Muchas Gracias”
“Hola Black, Hola Black, Hola Black”
I tried to get Black to look at the camera.
I took several photos, and that was the photoshoot over. My “phrasebook” / “Keyword” Spanish had got me a Mallorcan stranger
Gracias, Anne y Black, por permitirme tomarles una foto (via Google Translate)
On a footnote the World Cup seems a distraction to my 365.
I started 365 at the end of January 2011

If you read my lengthy profile notes you will see how my photography...
I was amazed at how well you can speak/write in Spanish until I read that it was google that translated your words. Beautiful portrait capture and Anne has a very happy face.
Hope your team will do well!
