Think about it

Once or twice a week one the older members of my cycling club drops into the office for a chat. Sometimes alone but mostly with a mate of about the same age, and always on the bike. Malcolm visited today and he sat down in the usual spot under one of the windows. He had been thinking about what we could do to help the new members and get kids started in cycling. He had some ideas to share and I know its best to let him talk. As he was taking I was thinking about a blip. "Here is your chance", my head says to me, to get a portrait shot for a blip.

"But he is all sweaty and in cycling gear." - So?
"He is an ugly old coot." - So are you, maggot brain.
"He won't like the idea." - Even better...
"But what about the back lighting? That wont do at all." - Shut up, you stupid man.

So I shut up and took a couple of shots. Here is another. As I thought, I should have kept the camera in the bag and looked for something easier than a portrait. Don't know what I was thinking when I thought I could shoot a portrait.
"Someone should shoot you, you goose!" - Shut up...
