Firstly let me explain the title for those not in the know. “Skin and Blister” is Cockney rhyming slang for Sister. Meet my Big sister Eunice.

I find you have to work at getting a relaxed shot of people even if it’s people you know well. This time I think I nailed it. There was lots of light from behind streaming through the windows of the café. I took the camera and metered away from the light . As it turnrd out I got the shot I wanted 1st time . The lightmeter on my Leica maybe a simple centre weighted  type but if you know how to use it it’s easy to adjust for such scenes..

Try some portraits this weekend. If you are shy ask people you know  to pose for you. Have a great weekend

The leaves continue to fall, and then to whirl around my carport, never idle.  Meanwhile, my much loved bike has not moved in over a week.  My camera too, has not seen much action.

How does life get in the way of things that we love?

Each morning I walk by and feel regret … but also hope … soon I will feel the wind in my face and the camera in my hand.
