A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.

"Are you sure you haven't been followed, Bryan?"
ReplyDelete"Don't worry, Nige."
"Then who's that bloke?"
"Oh, him? He's just my caption guy."
"Alright. Here's today's posts."
"Great. Thanks. I had better get back. I have ten articles and two books to finish before lunch."
that is me on the right, Neil, but not Nige on the left
ReplyDeleteWhatever you say.
ReplyDeleteHa, so you do not believe me, Mr Bond.
ReplyDelete'Shy cameraman seeks minimum exposure'
ReplyDeleteInept cameraman more like
ReplyDeleteThat "Ha" says it all, Appleyard. You were born a villain and you will die a villain. And sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteSure ain't me - no sign of Groucho there.
ReplyDeleteNew Anthony Gormley shows his caring side.
ReplyDeleteBut, Bryan, it is atmospheric. It's got light, shade, movement, classic profiles, a trendy cap, the impression of a partial eclipse, a tangible sense of a crashing sea and a freezing wind blowing straight from the Russia; what more do we need look for in a great photo? In fact, it's so good, a caption contest almost demeans it.
ReplyDelete" In Norfolk we fence the dunes to protect them from the elements."
ReplyDelete"Call that a fence! Sydney's CBD is currently encased by a 3.5 metre fence to protect the APEC members. 21 World Leaders are peering out of their courtesy cars wondering if they've accidentally been sent to Baxter Detention Centre..."
Well, that's an unexpected entry.
ReplyDeleteAs the bishop (for it is he) said to the fellow with legs akimbo on the right hand of the photograph.
ReplyDeleteTV Man Appleyard caught cruising for ass between writing assignments, claims "It's a proud Norfolk tradition."
ReplyDelete'What are you doing here?'
ReplyDelete'I'm trying to emigrate'
Very good, Captain, I recall you were just out of shot.
ReplyDelete"How do I know you're not a narc?"
ReplyDeleteIs that an enormous anorak or are you just pleased to see me?
ReplyDelete''Excuse me. I've just rented this deckchair from you and I'm finding it rather difficult to put up.''
ReplyDelete''Please hold, sir. Your enquiry is very important to us. Thank you for your patience. Your call is moving forward in the queue and will be answered shortly.''
One of your best, Ian.
ReplyDeleteIs Bryan stepping forward in expectation or back in fear, or is he stepping both ways, practicing the Bombay two-step?
ReplyDelete''now don't be shy, sir. we'll have to get a little bit closer than this if we're going to effect a vase in the middle.''
ReplyDelete''your best time yet, Mr. A! now, twice more 'round the lighthouse and then we'll have another go with the egg on the spoon.''
ReplyDelete'Local Hero 2. This time it's coffee.'
ReplyDeleteNew anti-immigration legislation forces middle-classes into cockle-picking.
ReplyDeleteQuite, Gordon, I think we drowned soon afterwards.
ReplyDeleteBryan: "Who is number one?"
ReplyDeleteLeo McKern: "YOU are number two."
Leo McKern! Whatever happened to him?
ReplyDeleteHe sang that song ' Won't you come home, old bailey'
ReplyDeleteBryan, do you realise you manage to look grumpy & sceptical & armed even in low-light profile shots? Could you please put a subtitle to your blog: GRUMPY, SCEPTICAL & ARMED? Just for a week.
ReplyDeletei think you would be armed with a cosh and some sort of handgun.
