The Great Pretender - The Platters
A pic of the National Gallery taken from Trafalgar Square. Now what so special about it?
Well.... nothing! The pic was taken as part of a "cover-up" scheme! ;-P
I was at the National Gallery when i noticed the sun coming out. Knowing that it would mean good photo opportunities, i went down to the square and hung around. Man, there were loads of kids around - and i decided to do a "series" on kids at the Trafalgar Square!
It was quite fun, actually. The kids really knew how to have a good time, chasing pigeons, clambering on the lions in the square, feeding the birds etc. And then i noticed this little fella fast asleep on his/her dad's shoulders - so i sneaked up behind the dad and took a pic:-
I think humans have this 6th sense that tells them when people take photos of them surreptitiously! He turned around almost immediately - and saw me, wif the camera still aiming in their direction!
Cool as cucumber, i made a great show of trying to focus me camera at the National Gallery behind them. He quickly moved away - prolly afraid of this possible paedophile trying to snap pics of his kids. Just to assure him i was harmless, i snapped the pic of the Gallery...
Needless to say, that was the last kids pic i took!
Anyways, check them out here.
