I have been trying to get photos off my phone and onto the computer for about 6 months now, and I have only just worked out that the USB cable I have been trying to use is faulty. You cannot tell from the outside and I bet you cannot tell from the inside either. I tried a different cable this morning and it worked. This is how I can show you this selfie.
Crap cameras always produce interesting pictures (like the above). I used to use a 1930s 35mm camera, just for the weird things it did to the photos. There was a pinhole in the cloth bellows of it which let in light, producing some interesting flares and patterns on the developed film. The scope for double exposure was also high, though I rarely did it deliberately. The lens was quirky too.
These days, everyone's equipment produces spectacularly professional results. A modern smartphone will make video of broadcast quality, and kids make broadcast quality music on a laptop in their bedroom. Well, some do anyway.
I just looked out of the window to see a girl speaking into the bottom edge of her phone, as if it had an oyster on it which she was going to slide into her mouth.
Oh yes, that photo. I was trying to go unnoticed in the pub.
re your last sentence. Lady M is always telling me to 'keep my voice down' when making comments about people. I reassure her that when speaking in an ordinary voice; no-one hears you. But if you whisper; everyone does! Trying to go unnoticed in that outfit is much the same.
ReplyDeleteI wear Hi-Viz when I go out burgling. Same principle.
DeleteIf that outfit goes unnoticed at your pub, I definitely want to hang out at your pub.
ReplyDeleteGive it a try.
DeleteHa for the coat and ha for the oyster girl. My neighbor talks to her phone constantly, and it obeys. A mystery.
ReplyDeleteHey, Siri!
DeleteI am completely serious when I say that I like this photo a lot. Stare at it, let your eyes go a little bit blurry and it turns into a piece of pop art.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fur falls away as if by magic?
DeleteIs your pub located near the Arctic Circle? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteStephenson of the Antarctic.
DeleteYou couldn't go unnoticed if you tried.
ReplyDeleteBest thing is not to try too hard. I once sat in a friend's armchair trying to be invisible, and it worked.
DeleteNanook of the North ..... do they serve walrus in a basket at The Bell ?!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteSoup in a basket.
DeleteYou look like me walking the promenade but with less wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteThe wrinkles are covered in fur.
DeleteMy phone speaks to my computer without the need for a cable.
ReplyDeleteEeew.
Deletenananananaaaa
DeleteFuchs-I-presume
ReplyDeleteDr Livingstone I presume.
DeleteUnnoticed ? In a fur lined hood?
ReplyDeleteI thought you did irony.
DeleteNot on Saturday nights..they are too boring
DeleteEven with Strictly?
Deleteyou have a short memory span
DeleteI do, but I thought it was you who found it boring.
DeleteThe three dots were important in John's comment
Deleteor rather, the two dots
DeleteYou would go unnoticed here, it is just our winter look.
ReplyDeleteYes I know. I have been there in February and looked much the same.
DeleteWho owns the coat?
ReplyDeleteIt's just a hood with shoulders, belonging to one of the girls who works at the pub. It is fake fur.
