Digital Imaging

Two young women I saw recently (within a couple of days of each other) making images 'the old fashioned way' - with a pencil. You do remember pencils, don't you? Who needs an expensive camera?

Happy 21st Birthday

Another photo I couldn't resist taking - a helpless young female but with such a sunny smile. Happy 21st.

A quiet corner

............. almost.
Blog Brother is watching!!!

Isn't it wonderful to be young and in love and totally oblivious of the world around you.

All shopped out

... those tiles must be really cool and soothing on tired, worn out feet.

Her: No, you can't have a bite of my lolly!
Him: I don't want your silly auld lolly, anyway!!

Joie de vivre at the maritime festival

I was so busy concentrating on taking a photograph of a ship's figurehead that I almost missed this wonderful young woman. I don't know what her connection is with the maritime festival, other than the sailor suit, nor what the hoola hoops have to do with anything maritime but she was so full of energy and obviously enjoying what she was doing that I had to grab the moment. I stepped back and clicked as fast as I could, before she passed me, and hoped for the best - which actually isn't too bad. I think what makes this photograph is the expression on her face and those absolutely marvellous fifty's style sunglasses and of course the two hoola hoops.

One for the lads

Standing at the bus stop this morning I glanced across at the City Hall and was amazed to see two scantily clad models standing in the cold and rain looking as if they were enjoying themselves on the Costa del Sol. So off I went to investigate (and get a couple of close-ups) and going by the name on the brochure they were shooting an advert for Falcon Holidays (do you think they might pay me some commission for advertising?) but why, in the name of all that is holy are they using two bikini wearing models to advertise cold and wet Belfast (not that I'm objecting, mind you).

Perhaps they could start a new trend around Belfast! (In your dreams!!)

The Lady in Red

The Sun Worshipper

Hot Saturday

It was amazingly hot today - and you can probably see the crowd in the background soaking up the sun in the City Hall grounds. That mohawk looks really cool - though I think the blonde seated to the left is determined to hold on to her tresses.

(do you think the couple left and right of the standing group are brother and sister? just a thought!)













Though I love the gear - it really was too hot to be walking about dressed all in black.

My grand-daughter will probably disagree with me.

.... and what about these cool shades?

Watch the birdie

Another couple of tourist (?) (or students) enjoying the sun in the City Hall grounds recently.

Just look over your shoulder

If you want to know what I look like ......... just look over your shoulder.

Sharing

It was a cold afternoon and they were wrapped up warm but it obviously did not spoil the enjoyment of their shared taste in music.
