    Even though the light today was pretty good, I had various commitments to fulfil, so a quick shot was all I had time for. I tried holding this little Kuala from Australia (given to me by a friend’s girlfriend who is from Australia) up in the air and in various configurations, but I like the natural feeling of the wooden seat my family has at home. I would have preferred to take this against the bokeh of my garden, but getting the exposure and light was too hard and it came out too dark.

    I met Helen walking around the Woodside Ferry Terminal next to the U Boat Submarine exhibit entrance. I Introduced myself and we got talking about what she was doing in the area, which was a bit of travelling with her husband, and she thought the ticket price to go around the exhibition was a little expensive.

    She was very patient with me and we took a few shots of her looking at the Abbey Road – Beatles Penguins which were in the lobby, but I can’t help but love her smile and warmth that she exudes in this shot.

    This picture is #022 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

    Today was my “Professional Persons Job Searching Training” at Reed in Birkenhead. I asked if I could take some photos during the course and I was given permission by the group. After, I had a wander around Hamilton Square, and into the Woodside Ferry Terminal. I was hoping to get some decent shots of the Liverpool Waterfront, but the weather wasn’t great today.

    Quite like this set of penguins painted up to look like the Abbey Road Cover. There were a few angles I took, but I liked this the best.

    Met a couple of people today for different reasons, but I had a while taking photos in Liverpool city centre. Today’s selection was a hard one, as there were quite a few good photos, especially since the light this morning was so clear and crisp. The attraction of this one particularly was the composition of something smaller against something larger and I feel this it was quite unusual for me to capture such a clean shot of something architectural.
