Robert M Poole Posted April 9, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) My family and I decided to make the most of the beautiful weather today and head to Heaton Park in Manchester. Whilst stopping for some lunch I happened upon this character. His son was looking after him and kept checking back that he was OK. I asked him for his portrait and he asked "why?". If I'm ever asked this I usually go with, because you're interesting! I like your style. It worked, he obliged. I took a few shots and chatted with him. In hindsight I wish I'd asked his son for his email address to email over the pic.

Robert M Poole Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted April 11, 2017 I wondered why he said, "who loves ya baby" when I took the picture Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted April 11, 2017 Share #11 Posted April 11, 2017 Excellent shot, and a warming story. Seek him out and get the email contact, someone must know who he is. I'm sure he/they would appreciate the pic as much as you appreciated the ability to take it. Great result. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
