Take my picture

I was walking through a town centre in Spain last Friday, looking at shop windows, when the man below asked me to take a photograph of his family.

I wasn't carrying a sign or advertising my services (it hasn't come to that yet!), and my camera was in a shoulder bag! How did he know I was chief photographer of this blog? Do you think he or his wife are followers of StyleMed?

I took the photograph you see below and the man showed me his identity card, with his address in Granada. I wrote down the name and address and he asked me to forward the photograph to him. He then thanked me and we all said goodbye.

If you're reading this Manuel, I'll pop it in the post tomorrow.

  1. Cool story. It's like he's lucky you obliged to take their photo and you're quite flattered he asked you to.
