After a Hiatus of over a year (having kids kind of takes your mind off other things in life!), here’s stranger number four or my hundered strangers project on Flickr. Jim is an artist from Newport, and is a regular in the Coffee Shop where I go in Newport. I’d never spoken to him before today. Jim used to be an Anaesthetics technician, but last year he had a triple heart bypass which has given him a new perspective on life. Turns out he’s spent the last nine years writing 15,000 poems, all about different aspects of his life and experiences. Cheers Jim!
This is interesting too as I’d left the ISO at 1600 on the 5D, and ended up using bounce flash. Luckily, the noise on the 5D is low enough as it doesn’t really impinge on the final image at all.
