photo of the month
july 2004 'hands' by Brian Tompkins" I was walking down Oxford Street. It was mid afternoon in November, it had been pouring in rain and the light was awful. I saw this guy standing at the kerbside and decided that there was a picture. I got to about three feet from him and knelt down on the wet pavement. I was wearing a brand new pair of rather expensive cavalry twill trousers, but what the hell. Trusty M4 with 50mm lens exposure 1/15th at f5.6 with FP4 film. Anyone watching would have wondered what the hell I was doing. The trousers were ruined, but never mind I have always enjoyed the snap. Incidentally, everyone always thinks it is a nun with a rosary, but in fact it is an Arab gentleman with his worry beads."
Leica M4 50mm Ilford FP4
