Before we get to where I explain the pose in this shot, let me explain how I tricked Alain to pose for me.
I was about to pay for our brunch at La Ruche Restaurant when I overheard him say to a member of staff to go out with the guest book and have la Canadienne sign it. As he was talking about my wife, I knew I had an "in" as so far things had been a bit to much on the move for me to ask anyone at the restaurant to pose and I had noticed especially Alain as a potential model.
When Alain came to pick up the guest book (we scribbled half a page full by then) I asked him to pose and I guess although clearly not 100% comfortable with the idea, he felt obliged as we signed the book for him....
To calm his nerves a bit, I told him to pose anywhere in the restaurant (assuming he would choose the bar or sit at a table). However, he kept moving and directing staff (also to pose with him). So I had a hard time adjusting my shots and was happy with 8/10 in focus but not happy with 0/10 having eye contact .. (see the comment shot, which I liked because it looks like the guest in the background is taking a bite, but for the lack of eye contact I do not like as a portrait). I chose this shot as it shows the earring, the wavy hair, the sunglasses and Alain's continuous talking.
We talked for another half a minute where we exchanged cards and I found out he is not from the town of Cordon and got his name as Alain.
Looking at the restaurant's website I found out that Alain may be his last name (hence the Mr. in the title), in the converstion in mixed English and French I was not sure.
If you are in the neighbourhood, check out his restaurant where we enjoyed the "Brushetta", especially the "Savoyarde" with the local (cow's) cheese, which Alain specially explained about, was great.

I don't know which is worse: That someone was dumb enough to put an old toilet in the alley instead of the dumpster, that someone was dumb enough to use it, that someone was dumb enough to crap on the ground next to it, or that someone was dumb enough to photograph it.
I need to go shower now.

It has taken some time to see inside of this church. Repeated attempts at either Open House or whenever up in the City, and always the same story, the doors are locked, or people entering walk right by you.
Last year I was in St Andrew Undercroft and explained how frustrated I was, and other in the GWUK group were, and was told, just ring up and access will be allowed.
I had to wait, until Christmas had passed, and so I asked among the group who were interested, and a few other like-minded souls joined my, and so this afternoon we gathered outside hopefully to be let in.
In the end, no worries, we were allowed in, and we spent a good hour inside photographing it.
St Peter now comes under the umbrella of St Helen's Bishopsgate, and so there is a mix of the traditional and modern. The church itself is used for private study, and a kitchen, apparently.
The fabric of the church is unaltered pretty much, with just the pews having been replaced with tables and chairs
-----------------------------------------------
St Peter upon Cornhill is an Anglican church on the corner of Cornhill and Gracechurch Street in the City of London of medieval origin. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. It is now a satellite church in the parish of St Helen's Bishopsgate and is used for staff training, bible studies and a youth club. The St Helen's church office controls access to St Peter's.[1]
The church was used by the Tank Regiment after the Second World War, subsumed under St Helen's Bishopsgate.
The church of St Peter upon Cornhill stands on the highest point of the City of London. A tradition grew up that the church was of very ancient origin and was the seat of an archbishop until coming of the Saxons in the 5th century, after which London was abandoned and Canterbury became the seat for the 6th-century Gregorian mission to the Kingdom of Kent.[2]
The London historian John Stow, writing at the end of the 16th century, reported "there remaineth in this church a table whereon is written, I know not by what authority, but of a late hand, that King Lucius founded the same church to be an archbishop's see metropolitan, and chief church of his kingdom, and that it so endured for four hundred years".[3] The "table" (tablet) seen by Stow was destroyed when the medieval church was burnt in the Great Fire,[4] but before this time a number of writers had recorded what it said. The text of the original tablet as printed by John Weever in 1631 began:
Be hit known to al men, that the yeerys of our Lord God an clxxix [AD 179]. Lucius the fyrst christen kyng of this lond, then callyd Brytayne, fowndyd the fyrst chyrch in London, that is to sey, the Chyrch of Sent Peter apon Cornhyl, and he fowndyd ther an Archbishoppys See, and made that Chirch the Metropolitant, and cheef Chirch of this kingdom...[5]
A replacement, in the form of an inscribed brass plate, was set up after the Great Fire[4] and still hangs in the church vestry today. The text of the brass plate has been printed several times, for example by George Godwin in 1839,[6] and an engraving of it was included in Robert Wilkinson's Londina Illustrata (1819–25).[7]
In 1444 a "horsemill" was given to St Peter's. The bells of St Peter are mentioned in 1552, when a bell foundry in Aldgate was asked to cast a new bell.
The church was badly damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The parish tried to patch it up, but between 1677 and 1684 it was rebuilt to a design by Christopher Wren at a cost of £5,647.[citation needed] The new church was 10 feet (3.0 m) shorter than its predecessor, the eastern end of the site having been given up to widen Gracechurch Street.[8]
St Peter's was described by Ian Nairn as having "three personalities inextricably sewn into the City".[9] The eastern frontage to Gracechurch Street is a grand stone-faced composition, with five arched windows between Ionic pilasters above a high stylobate. The pilasters support an entablature; above that is a blank attic storey, then a gable with one arched window flanked by two round ones. The north and south sides are stuccoed and much simpler in style. Unusually, shallow 19th-century shops have survived towards Cornhill, squeezed between the church and the pavement. The tower is of brick, its leaded cupola topped with a small spire, which is in turn surmounted by a weather vane in the shape of St. Peter’s key.[6][10]
The interior is aisled, with square arcade piers[11] resting on the medieval pier foundations. The nave is barrel vaulted, while the aisles have transverse barrel vaults.[10] Unusually for a Wren church, there is a screen marking the division between nave and chancel. This was installed at the insistence of the rector at the time of rebuilding, William Beveridge.[12]
Charles Dickens mentions the churchyard in "Our Mutual Friend". A theatre group called The Players of St Peter were formed at the church in 1946 and performed there until 1987.[13] They are now based at St Clement Eastcheap where its members perform medieval mystery plays each November.
The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.
