6/100 (100 Strangers Project)

Sek...I think....

6/100

My 6th stranger was a friend of Paddy's (stranger #5) and was one of the many people who came out of the bar to help me out.
I tip my cap to each and every one of you.
I think his name was Sek. But sometimes, I can't be trusted to remember a name. :)

Yanek.

(4/100)

Yanek was sitting outside The Blues Kitchen in Camden having a smoke, when I asked him if he'd like to help me out and be included in my project.
There was a slight language barrier, but with a few wild gesticulations and some big smiles, we got through.
It was hard to choose my favourite shots of Yanek.
I think he might have done this before once or twice. :)

Colin.

(2/100)

This is Colin.
He's a brilliant man who has a newspaper stand outside Camden underground station. I think he has a great face.
When I asked him if I could take his photo he said he thought I might break my camera, before saying yes.
His friend was standing nearby telling him to smile, but he said "No, no...that's not what they want these photographer types. You want seerious don't you? All moody."

Gotta love Colin.

The world has turned into an ice rink.
But not in a rosy-cheeked-ice-skaters-and-mulled-wine-way.

...Dylan Alfie.

It's not very often that we see this little fella sit still. He's so full of beans and personality and smiles and chatter and laughter and noise and...LIFE, and he runs everywhere at 100 miles an hour, A Dylan-blur.

 ...Wreck This Journal.

Dylan bought me this Wreck This Journal for my birthday last year, and it's our little on-going, joint project.
I'm a big fan, I love it. And what I love more than the book, is spending time with my six-and-three-quarters old man, doing things we shouldn't be doing, like chewing pages, making messes, cracking the spine, finding ways to wear it, putting pages in the washing machine and sticking them back in...

I love how his expression always says:"Really?? You're actually letting me DO this??"

....He Ain't Heavy.

Meet my Big brother. *waves *

One of the finest human beings that the world has in it.
He hasn't paid me to say that, I swear.
Infact, he'd probably pay me NOT to say that... But any which way you look at it, It's a fact.

We did a spot of graffiti together, (we were 9, and it was pen...don't judge us!!).
We were grounded together (See above.)
We went to clubs together (He was 18, and I was 17, tagging along, trying to be cool).
We drank M/D 20/20 together. (I fell over before we'd ever arrived anywhere)
He taught me how to ride a scooter (His!)
Without him, I definitely would've flunked my GCSE maths.
He taught me how not, to hit like a girl...
Oh! And he can do a bloody brilliant moonwalk when he is drunk. It's kind of become a measurer-of-drunkeness among those close to him. If he does it. He's drunk.

He just is, and always will be, a bloody pleasure to be around.
I'm just very very grateful, that of all of the brothers, in all of the land, I got him.
Love you, Man X

...Baby BMX Bandit.

Dylan has only gone and learnt to ride his bike without stabilisers this week hasn't he?! Wooooooooo Hoooooooooooo!  :D
He is MASSIVELY proud of himself, and we're massively proud of him too, the little legend.
He's all scuffed knees, grazed hands, and very big smiles.
So day 56 is a salute to you, my gorgeous bike riding boy. You rock.

...Rise and shine.

Waking up to your wife photographing you sleeping, could be considered...well, a bit freaky if we're honest!
Luckily, The Beautiful Hairy Man doesn't mind a bit.
He's good like that :)

.....Dylan Alfie.

First day of the Easter Holidays today, which means I get to spend two weeks with this little dude. :)

When the phone rang lately, I said "Dylaaaaan, phone for youuuu" and he answered the phone like this:
"Hello? Is this someone from Star Wars"?
I LOVE that when you are six and three quarters, there is every possibility that someone from Star Wars will ring you. X

....When I was a little girl, You were my hero.

This photograph was taken in 1978/9, and is of me and my Dad.
He died quite suddenly 19 years ago today so I thought I'd post one of my favourite pictures of him today, looking all cool and 70's.
(Even if I do look like a human potato...)

Thinking of you Dad. Sleep Well. X
