Blue (potw #26)
Sometimes, I go for a walk with my camera and nothing happens. Nothing inspires me, I’m not in the right mood, the light’s not right, it’s too hot, it’s too dark, I need a pee, it’s too bright, I’m hungry, I’ve got the wrong lens, I’m tired, the stars aren’t aligned, etc, and so on.
Other times, I stumble upon a great shot just round the corner from my flat. I walk past these blue shutters with their blue writing all the time, but on Saturday afternoon, there they were again, behind a nice man in a blue shirt who was happy to have his picture taken. It’s this sort of thing that restores my faith in photography, and in the universe in general.

Do you just shoot away or ask permission from them if you can take their pictures?
I ask – usually just by holding up the camera and smiling.
Found your blog while puttering around looking for good tags. I stayed on yours because of the great picture, of course, but it is humour that I always gravitate towards. Thank you for combining the 2 skills.
Great shot! 🙂
love the contrast buddy
I love it when serendipity comes into play. Very nice shot!
Love this!
Great picture and very funny list of what stops you taking a photo!
Jon, your blog is such a pleasure to browse through. Sometimes when I’m at work and feel lost and blue I come by and browse at your photo blog to realise yet again, it is a beautiful world with beautiful people. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Nothing like a 50 MM lens adding to the magic, they all have a gentle smile 🙂
