Brief Encounter in Bassetlaw

love the top pic - want to watch the film again now!

Thanks Gael. I like to think the couple in the bottom pic were having a "moment".

Glad you like the top pic anyway, I'm aware that the rest of the pics get progressively more dark and grainy, but that's what it was like. Call it content over style.

Don't get me wrong, I like the whole series. I *heart* grainy, realist shots too - the couple look like they've stepped straight out of a Mike Skinner song : )

Oh I wasn't getting you wrong Gael :) Just being militantly grainy.... The couple, whoever they are, were quite sweet but he kept looking at me in a really puzzled way as I took random grainy pictures.

love that fourth picture for some reason - its really atmospheric

really caught the mood and I love the top shot too!

Excellent atmospheric lighting. I think the hoodie wants your phone thou...

Oh thanks. I wasn't really expecting many responses to this one.

Crickson, I refuse to believe you about the boy in the hoodie. Actually, I was just trying to take a lighting picture you might have liked when the train came. Clearly catching the train won out.

love the feel of these. reminds me of a guy I met when I missed a train in amsterdam. He was from Ulan Bator, Mongolia, and noticed my riding boots. I like horses, riding. We sat and talked and he told me about mongolia, and learning to ride when he was tiny, and yes, he could stand in the saddle and shoot arrows. he got on his train and I got on mine.

That sounds like a fascinating encounter swamprose. I like airports for that reason - that sense that you're momentarily brushing shoulders with people from all over the world.

I guess on a cold dark night Bassetlaw may as well be Ulan Bator, but it's a stretch. :)

I have no idea where Bassetlaw really is, but in my mind, your photos were taken in some train station, maybe in the 1950s, where lovers meet, and anything can happen, as long as it is brief. you take the photo, and I see something else. :)

"you take the photo, and I see something else. :)"

Which is how it should be.

I won't ruin the thought with any more detail about Bassetlaw.

The problem with brushing sholders with people from all over the world is that I generally pick up a new cold virus from whatever semi-civilised corner of the globe they call home.

Fab series. The top shot is ace. :)

oh you are going to be one grumpy old man Crickson!

Like the 'feel' of all of these shots .... but top one my favourite ....
