Stranger #25 (Haidar)

I saw Haidar who was walking in the opposite direction with a friend and I knew I wanted to take his photo, but I couldn't react fast enough. Luckily he wanted the same and stopped and asked me if I could take a photo of him. He wanted a picture with the mountain in the back (it can be seen at the end of the street), but I explained I couldn't take such a picture at the moment. I gave him a small reflector and asked him to pose by just looking calmly in my camera. I had a Kodak Trix 400 loaded and an EF 85 1.8. Later I remembered I had my 100D and the 30 1.4 in my bag so the mountain shot was possible, but didn't think of that at the moment. I think I'll be shooting film some more - I love the results I get and it is ver challenging.

Haidar, I hope you had the patience to wait for the film to be developed and I hope you like your photos.
