FriendsLeela makes friends wherever she goes -- even in London.Walking near the Dali Museum, we saw this man learning against the building. Leela was charmed and approached him and asked if she could take his photo. He said something like, "Sure, luv, but I'd like a pound if you could spare it." She gave him a pound and took several photos and then he asked if I'd like to take a photo with her in it. I said yes, offered him a pound, and took four photos. This was the best of them. Leela mentioned later that he was so pleased that I'd given him another pound, as was a friend/photographer who had been chatting to him, instead of pretending one pound was a family rate. He was very nice, very polite -- even offered to throw in a single-digit salute for the camera but we told him it wasn't necessary. My only regret is not asking his name -- I seldom shoot strangers so willing to pose and I forgot that there's no nicer request you can make. |
