new year, new men

So, the cold has well and truly reduced my likelihood of obtaining some good old men shots these past few weeks for 2 reasons....

a) old men don't come out in the cold so much
b) my fingers are too cold to get my phone, get to the camera setting and take a photo in the allocated time i have.

bummer.

this doesn't mean i haven't been trying... so gimme a break.

here goes....

i gotta say, i am loving his wife's red dragon jacket in the background.

class

bus stops.... god bless 'em

this and my next shows how out of practice i am at on the move shots. i hope i haven't lost my mojo :(

confused old men are awesome to take photos of, coz they don't move for a good while.... maybe the odd head scratch, but thats it.

apologies for my finger bottom right corner (wow, that reads.... a little wrong. "finger bottom...."). I was waiting to cross a road and got this in record time might i add.

public transport is a saving grace during these dark cold months. 

long story....

indoor shots in pubs are proving awful. bring back the summer, where it stays light for long, and old men enjoy being outside.

took this last night in a pub that shall remain unnamed. and those in the know will know Freemasons occasionally hold meetings in the function room upstairs, and halfway through my pint, they started filing out, and my god, did they have the most impeccable facial hair... proper curly wurly moustaches to put most to shame, but i just couldn't get a good pic. (this guy wasn't one of them.... he was just unfortunate enough to be stood stationary long enough for me to try and get a photo.)

devastating.
