. . Doc.
One of the best Flickr contacts you will ever have! A gentleman! After every comment, if he leaves one, he say's "thanks", because you allowed him to view your work.
How about that!? On Flickr?
I'm just off a plane. I had no intention of posting tonight - I will not view or comment, I'm going to bed - - BUT I opened Flickr, and there was his comment, on a crappy pic, and a comment as honest and as cheeky as ever, but it makes you feel glad you posted.
Another friend is having a low. I had drinks with him a while back. and went to the toilet in his local bar after a few beers. This photo was taken from it.
And I thought . . holy crap, he is not going round the best of establishments. He could not even afford to go round the normal of establishments.
I took the photo. The feet are mine, the yellow bucket seems to have been a metaphor for how I hoped his life would change; future sunshine. I helped how I could. We'll see what happens.
Back to Trader Doc. No easy lead-ins here - find him yourself, make the effort, and find a friend. He's from the school of hard knocks as most of us are, he respects no fools, but he respects everyone.
AND - he has nothing to do with this image - except, I know he is a friend when I might be down. We all need honest "trader's".

I didn't get pictures of this, but the train at the front of the float was able to rise 35 feet into the air.
Well done to my Flickr friend 'tentontipper' and his father for their superb restoration of this 1964 Thames Trader tipper- converted to 6x4 by AWD of Camberley.
All Wheel Drive Ltd used only the Trader cab, engine, gearbox and front axle in this conversion- the chassis rails, transfer box and rear axles were all of their own design.
Mixed nuts with rosemary seasoning.
I placed printer paper over a lava lamp light, strew nuts on it, and turned off the room lights.
- Well, Admiral Motti... I must say I'm pleased, considering you opened your account today and managed to collect all white Imperial cards within one hour.
- Thank you, my Lord! I was trading away all rebel cards to achieve this as soon as possible!
- Good.
At the border town of Ollague, one of the first persons travellers encounter as they enter Chile from Bolivia is this young lady and her fast-food stall selling soft drinks and deep fried pastry things that promised more than they delivered.
On the day of my visit, it seemed she’d turned up for work in her underwear. She was quite keen to be photographed and I should have stuck with the full frontal approach, but wanted to include the FCAB locos shunting back and forth.
So here we are, squashed up in a hot tin hut under the desert sun, testing (and failing) with my very rudimentary Spanish, and with my reputation fast disappearing down the track along with the locos.

Not too sure about this one myself, but hey... I'm always looking to mix things up with different styles... :)
A cheery smile from a trader in his hygiene food safety hat selling food in a street market. During Ramadan, the early evening markets were hectic, selling prepared food that local people took home to be eaten after sunset.
