I have, for many years now, been considered one of the most embarrassingly awful amateur snappers ever to emerge from the UK. I must at the outset admit that this achievement was not entirely my own work: I was born with several advantages namely exceptionally poor eyesight, natural clumsiness, a fondness for drink and an almost complete lack of interest in taking photos when I could be in the thick of the action making an arse of myself. A non-existent work ethic has resulted in my owning the ancient, sandy scuffed up camera with which over the years I have achieved my most “interesting” work.
Now however, Brooklyn is here. Brooklyn, who through sheer application has overcome wealth, contacts, an expensive education sobriety and presumably state-of-the-art photographic equipment to produce work which makes even my most vodka-soaked abominations look almost ok. His achievement is utterly humbling. Well, Brooklyn, you worked for it, you earned it. I gladly hand you my crown. I admit that the sun has set on my glory, I am now only the SECOND worst photographer in the UK. For completeness I should add that thankfully I did not buy this book. I scanned it in WHSmith while waiting for a bus, before deciding that the timetable in the shelter would be not only a cheaper, but a far more engaging read…
“I’m looking for a male actor aged 65-70 years old. Do I have any English / London male actor fans here in the USA or American who can speak with the PERFECT London accent who would be interested in playing a lead role in an amazing short movie in New York from September 4-11?
The role is playing my father so the actor must be look at least 65 years old so Sergio Caballero is looking for someone between 60-75 for this part.
It’s vital that the London accent is perfect so if American I will need to approve your dialect over the phone in a chat.
If you have thespian friends who fit this bill please tag them in the comments.
Thank you. ”
