I met Sam in Bideford, Cornwall recently. I was sat in a cafe having just ordered food and saw him standing beside his old honda motorcycle, he appeared to be waiting for somebody.
He looked very relaxed and at ease with himself and having spotted this alley a few minutes before I nipped over as he made his way to a cash ATM. I introduced myself and the reason I was speaking to him and despite being in a bit of hurry Sam agreed to a picture.
Sam was an intriguing character, he noticed small details like the fact I was using a manual lens and we had a discussion over the pros and cons of this, I asked if he was into photography and he said he liked gadgets, not being drawn further.
He has lived in Cornwall since 2002 and before that "various places" including time at boarding schools.
Sam gave me his card which describes himself as a 'Specialist in the non specific" and was titled "Erratic Static", and on the back an image of St Jude the Patron Saint of Lost and Impossible Causes. I wish I had had time time to find out more.
This picture is 77 in my 100 strangers project.

Dressed as one of the Ninja squad, she waits for the right moment when she can make the switch of the rare oriental gem, discovered in a cave back in the early 12th Century. Her only problem: Konoto, an overly zealous fellow worker who takes her job seriously. This Ninja guard came from a family steeped in tradition. Only the men were Ninjas, she was told. But Konoto was determined to undergo the rigid training and discipline to become a Ninja guard.
"Oh, that she would take a break! Then I can get that gem and leave town!"

We did another little shoot yesterday. Too cold to be outside without being bundled up now, and I didn't think anyone would prefere Sam bundled up to unbundled. : )
The technical rehearsal ended, and now the stage crew begins getting the seats in place as well as clean up the place in preparation for the concert. This give Sam a chance to ask questions. He is introduced to the drummer, who affectionately goes by the name of "Bonebeater". His real name was Frank Enstine and his regular work was a mechanic at the local garage. The stage manager, Joe Kinwright, had joined them. He just listened, but nodded his head in agreement. Sam asked him about his costume and who made it.
"Oh, that's an easy one. I got this made at King's Costume Shop. Great guy. He even made a whole set for a gig we did as a band for a Halloween bash. The whole ghoulish gang wore costumes that would scare even a werewolf!".
"Do you know anyone else who may have used Nosmo's services in getting their costumes made?" Sam asked, hoping that Frank would give him additional names.
"Oh, I can't offhand remember, but there was this one lady who was very fussy about her costume for a magic act. It had to have secret pockets in the sleeves and an extra fold in the band around the waist. She was very picky. I remember her well." Joe also nodded.
"How's that?" Konoto asked, trying to qualify his answer.
"Oh, that's the easy part! She had a distinctive brand of perfume. I couldn't tell you the name, but I know my grandmother used to use it." Frank admitted that he didn't know any other people who would have used Nosmo's services, but this was one additional clue that Sam and Konoto could use. "I also know she likes music, so she might be here, and even performing her magic tricks." Joe nodded again, and gave a 'thumbs up', indicating that she was on the program.
"Thanks," they said in unison. Sam added, "We'll come again tomorrow to see the whole performance." Sam was pleased to learn what he heard.
Sam's vibrant design is inspired by Kenyan masks and African textile patterns - merging together tp create a riot of colour.

So I went to my first Photo Meet-up on Tuesday! It was so amazing to meet such fantastic people! Green Park was invaded by LOve and creativity.
AND it was arranged by Brooke Shaden!! OMG I still can't believe it that i met her and hugged her! :)
I took this photo of Sam at the end because I spotted him smoking earlier so I just asked him if he could light one for me and ta daaa! Only thing is...it was getting dark so I had to use higher ISO.
