Whilst on my constitutional today, I was accosted by a group of women wielding cameras. It seemed that they had already been photographing me without my knowledge and now they wanted some posed close-ups. It seems that I was selected for this minor sleb status because I look like "a character". I don't know which one.
The main protagonist, who had an absolutely enormous lens, told me that she was a member of the Benfleet Camera Club, amongst others, and that she would post my pictures on "We Love Southend", a Farcebook group.
Apparently, I am to be "touched up" (oo-err missus). A practice seems to be favoured in which chaps in photographs are made to look more wrinkly and rugged that their real life features. I could regard that as a slight.
I would have placed this post in the Gallery board, but there wasn't a thread about random photographic things that don't warrant a thread of their own, and since this doesn't warrant a thread of its own, I didn't feel that I ought to start one.
