Apologies, Facebook fans, but I've got to get my money's worth out of this photograph! Yes, look everybody .. it's me .. and David Bailey! Aaaagh! How much of a groupie am I... ? And who cares? I've met David Bailey!! And I got his autograph! And he asked what camera I was using when I got this shot - and no, he didn't mind that it wasn't an Olympus Trip! - so all in all a fab trip down to London and well worth the effort to meet one of my heroes! He might be 74 but he's still got his great sense of humour and a cool knack for telling a good story. The place was packed too, which shows you the influence the guy still has. My fave quote of his from the entire evening? "Seeing takes a lot of looking..." he said " ..and I'm still practising!" Modest, or what?
Right, reality calls ... I'm off to shoot an Awards lunch in Coventry.
Hmmm, now how would Bailey do it? This way, darlin'...
