Day 074 - Happy (Iranian) New Year Selfie

Best viewed large on black if you have time :)

Yesterday I worked on a show for the Iranian New Year, which is later this month.

I wasn't operating a camera, the first half of the day's recording was wasted and we had to start again 8 hours after arriving on site and it was raining all day.

A rather tedious day's work.

I was stood here in one of our camera kit trucks so thought a selfie might be nice and easy. I was going to experiment more with the location to try and include more of the truck itself but my camera's battery ran out after 6 shots.

So I was stuck with this.
It's not a bad one to be stuck with at all... in fact, the pose is quite eye-catching.

How could work like that be tedious - sounds so interesting! This is a cool pose for a really cool person!

Beautiful image... Makes me think of you as a spy... Or an SAS ;) love it

Cool selfie, though there is no sign of the Happy Iranian New year on your face. You seem to be rather sceptical.

Ha...thank you all. And I hope i'm not sounding too morose. The Iranians had a great time but it was a frustrating day. I would have preferred to be operating a camera rather than babysitting while others do it - but...I do love my job. I see some wonderful events, locations and people.

And it wasn't too bad, just a very early start to a very wet and cold day.

Thank you for the comments :)

A cracker Steve, I like the location, it's not your normal "studio" selfie, and I think that adds a lot for me.

@ditto44 Hhmmm. I have heard this a few times before. I suppose I can live with that....think I prefer someone's rather odd comparison of the guy from Dexter - think he's much more handsome :) Thanks for the compliment re: the pic!!
