I’ve had to work from home today. While taking my photos for Day 1 of my challenge on Saturday I was bitten on my right leg by some insects. My leg has since swelled up like a balloon and yesterday I was in a lot of pain and walked with a pronounced limp. So today I decided to work laying on my sofa with my leg up to give my leg a chance to recover. And after a morning of doing that (and two days running of taking anti-histamines) my leg is now much better.
Working from home meant that I couldn’t head over to the Students Union for my stranger photo. Instead I headed to the village post office! And this where I took today’s photo.
He was queuing ahead of me at the counter and he seemed like a character. So I asked, he said yes and the rest is history. He wasn’t keen about hanging around so he was in the middle of saying good bye as I took the shot – usually I take 2 or 3 photos of my subject just in case of closed eyes or something else unexpected that might ruin the shot. But not with this fella – he was off and out of the post office quick as a flash! Luckily the shot was perfect so I was lucky.
You can see the photos the other 122 people taking a photo a day for October by heading over to the flickr group here: October 2011: A month in 31 pictures. I’d recommend that you do as there are some amazing photos being taken!
