Artist's Comments

It went something like this.

"Hey photographer, Want to take a photo?"

How could I say no?

"May I?"

"Yeah sure." with a big grin on his face.

So I kneel down and snap off two frames, I barely aim. I know these wont be the frames I use. I don't even know if I've exposed them correctly.

But that is when I start the conversation. I notice he has a crutch beside him.

"Hurt your leg mate?"

He goes on to explain how he has had his toes amputated because of gangrene caused by smoking, No the warnings on the pack aren't a lie.
I Keep the conversation going for about half an hour while I earn his trust so i can make the frames I really wanted.

I now know Peter
Peter is an intelligent man.

Thanks very much.

I only hoped it would touch a few, but dreamt it would touch many more.

This photo has such personality, and that was before I read the description. I would do things like that in my city but I would probably get shot. Unfortunate that.
