Glenfiddich.

I shot off 21 frames, all candid except for the last five where we made eye contact.

 

Although there are some great candids I actually prefer this one as he looked so happy.

 

Sometime later he received a 18x12 print of this image.

 

He was a happy man – he’d just won this bottle of 15 year old Glenfiddich in a raffle at one of the market stalls.

 

The Glenfiddich distillery nestles between the village of Dufftown and the River Fiddich in Banffshire, Scotland. The distillery can be seen on a cold, still air morning, two photos back from this one in my photostream:

There are more than a dozen distilleries within an eight-mile radius of my home. One of them, The Macallan, just three miles from my home, embarked on a huge civil engineering project and was covered by six photographers, Steve McCurry, Martin Parr, Paolo Pellegrin, Mark Power, Gueorgui Pinkhassov and Alec Soth from Magnum Photos, see:

I found it interesting to see his photos from inside one of my local bars.
