About 5:15 pm, Alexandra Square, Lancaster University. I was struck by the way she looked on these very bright stone steps. I asked permission, and she was nervous but kindly agreed. I took several angles to try to deal with the sun and backgound; this is the first shot.
Thank you for participating in my project.

8:15 a.m., Priory Park, Chichester. I saw the early sun on him, and asked permission. He is sitting on the city wall, and reading Lee Child's 'The Hard Way'.

About 3:25, Ravenseat, Swaledale. I have been looking for someone reading a map, so I asked his permission to take this picture. When I first saw him, the light was reflecting off his map case to brighten the shadow on his face, and I think I caught a bit of that here. Thank you for agreeing to be part of my project.
Ravenseat is a cluster of farm buildings in a bowl in the moorlands, with a pretty stream (see the bridge in the background); for many it must be a lucky stop on the Coast-to-Coast Walk. They serve cream teas, and I have left the mugs in the crop here, to show he has just finished his tea and is planning the next stage of their walk.
The blur around the map is because half an hour earlier my camera case had fallen into Cop Gill just above the waterfall; I didn't realise there was still a droplet on the filter.

2:40 pm, Gordon Square, London. I was surprised to see someone reading outdoors in January, and asked his permission. George was reading 'The Coming Insurrection' by The Invisible Committee, published by Semiotext(e).
