So, I found this strip of warning icons on a piece of equipment the other day. Of course, I peeled it off to put it in a scrapbook. But the point I want to get to is, are these two symbols meant to warn us of people who read over our shoulders? Or is it an encouragement to let others read along with us? You can tell they are practicing social distancing: the book holder must be so far away we can see most of the body, but the other reader is so close to us all we see is a head.
We're Here! with photos of reading.

Reading Class. Chapter 1. One of the beauties of cheapskate film photography, over Canikon consumer photography, is that although we don't have oodles of glossy magazines dedicated to our style of photography in the newsagents, we can buy incredible cheap film photography books at car boots, and charity shops.
We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.

A reader (customer/user) at the main issue counter in Plymouth's Central Library in the early 1960s.
This lady had lived through two world wars and looks immaculate with her neat hairstyle, dainty pink hat, white blouse fastened at the throat with a modest piece of jewellery, good tweed suit and white gloves.
There's more than a touch of Esma Cannon and Katie Johnson to her.
We shall not see their like again.

This is a photo that has been a long time in the making...twenty years in fact. Where does the time go? ;-)
A portrait of the truly fabulous Eddi Reader (former lead singer with Fairground Attraction), performing earlier tonight at Edinburgh's Festival Theatre.
I first saw Eddi perform in 1988 at a gig in Southampton Mayfair (I was a postgrad student at the time), when Fairground Attraction were the support act for Deacon Blue. I had seen Deacon Blue once before, but this was just before both groups enjoyed chart success.
There aren't too many times when you come away from a concert having been "wowed" by the support group, but this was one of those occasions. Certainly, as an exiled Scot at the time, it was a joy for me just to hear a Scottish accent. :-)
Eddi had (and continues to have) a commanding stage presence. She exploded onto the stage that night like a force of nature...a mass of red hair...windmilling arms...and a great voice.
A major regret for me is that I never took any shots of her that night. Yes...I should have...drat! I had smuggled my camera into the gig...and was trying to remain "low profile" before Deacon Blue came on (lest I be stopped from taking photos)...and my high speed film was finite (no more than two rolls). So, I didn't take any shots of Fairground Attraction...but should have...D'Oh!
Tonight, I was finally able to make amends, and this is one of the shots I took. I was also able to correct my earlier failure in some style...since I was armed with an official photo pass, for which my considerable thanks are due to my FNPE (that's Friendly Neighbourhood Picture Editor...as you may recall!), Alex Hewitt from The Scotsman.
All this...and I was able to have a brief chat with Eddi after the gig and show her some of my shots. If she thought they sucked, she was gracious enough to hide it...and I'll be passing on my best shots from the gig to her. :-)
