It always pays to carry a camera. I now make a habit of this as there has been so many times I have missed a shot and cursed myself for not having it with me. Especially for the '100 Strangers' project, as this picture proves. I just happened to be coming out of a shop near where I live and spotted John walking past with his distinctive locks and colourful tie. I had my lomo lca with me so stopped him and asked to take his photo. I'm glad i did because we spent the next 15 minutes or so talking, or rather he did whilst I laughed at his stories. His full name is John Israel Robinson, one of ten children who all had biblical names apparently, his name given because he was born the year Israel was given independance in 1948. We talked about my use of film instead of digital and he told me how he loved technolgy and was up to speed with all the latest gadgetry including of all things, a pacemaker with built in wifi and gps so the hospital could monitor him. He said, 'It's great apart from the fact that when I'm with a woman, the doctors know if i'm on the job in the house, someone elses house, a field or a bus!!' Funny man.
