Spooky Lens

One of our guys at work Jeff , used to take photographs and still has a Canon Sureshot film camera circa 1983 , and just to set the scene – “surprisingly” right next to it on the shelf , sits an original tape Walkman !!!

Does he live in a museum ??? I hear you thinking ………

…………………..a timewarp more like :)

Anyway after seeing some of my other photo’s Jeff reckoned I was apparently cheating , using for example Photoshop to make them black and white !!! ,
and now of course I just wondering if he has a gramophone and waxed cylinders to go alongside his Sureshot and Walkman :)

So later when I was showing Don his atmospheric i.e. Photo shopped , Whitby Abbey photo’s, I said to Jeff they were shot using a “ special spooky lens “ , which he believed right up until the point we burst out laughing :)

Later on - Don said my photo’s were surprisingly , better than the £15 he paid for one recently , so I cheekily said –

“…………..ok that’s £45.00 – please “ :)

and of course his answer was a.l.a the Tesla tickets -

“ I’ll give you a £1.00 a week “ :)

thus my totally , predictable reply was -

“ok ….I’ll cut them in to 45 pieces and you can have one piece per week “ :)


………………….etc ..etc..etc :)
