Mr Jones # 6

This picture is 6 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

 

My project is moving along very slowly, don't seem to find much time at the moment, and the weather has been so bad.

 

A walk round the local town after two successes I was returning to the car when I noticed Mr Jones returning to his car. He looked very dapper and so I had to approach and explain the project. He was very surprised he had been approached for a photo as he was just a plain old man. I assured him otherwise.

 

We chatted for a while, and when I asked his name, "Mr Jones" was the reply! I took quite a few shots as I could not get the result I wanted out of the manual lens and Mr Jones was very patient, and produced a different expression and lovely smile with each shot.

 

I could not elicit much information from Mr Jones he seemed a little wary, he lives in a small village outside Andover and was in to return some library books.

 

Mr Jones has little interest in the internet and modern technology and may be moving home soon.

 

C&C welcome.
