He plays the spoons by rosiekind

He plays the spoons

I saw this chap sitting on a seat when I went to Cambridge today and I just couldn't resist asking him if I could take his photo. He was quite happy for me to do so and after chatting to him, I realised that he was a very nice chap. Characters like this are becoming few and far between. They all have a story to tell.

I have taken my camera back to John Lewis and they will be refunding the money to me but I didn't buy another camera while I was there because I wanted to think about it. I think I shall probably buy the Nikon D7200.

Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.
Super candid Rosie!

This was my first time on the website, and this picture immediately caught my attention, it was the first picture I clicked on. I Think the fact you had an experience talking to someone and learning something new is the best part about your beautiful photo.
