Was in Montreal yesterday. Guess the lens 😉

More to come...

Yikes...his outfit smacks of Patrick McGoohan's No. 6 from The Prisoner. Good to see the ex-Police-man (barring their recent, brief reunion) in good form, but what was the event?

(And, sorry, can't guess the lens.)

Do you mean the lens that you used or the lens that Andy used
to take the photo behind him ? He's a great photographer in
his own right, (t)his photo "Montserrat" might have been taken with a Leica ...

An "RFF-relevant" quote from Andy:

"That decisive moment when you know you got a good shot has a distinct Twang"

Best,

Roland.

I met Andy when he was in Vancouver. We were both in a camera shop browsing and every time he asked the salesman to look at a camera, he would pick it up, turn it over, look at it more closely, then say "No, I think I already have one of these".
He wasn't acting snobbish though. Nice chap!

Wow, there is someone else who remembers The Prisoner. I liked the show, but when I tried to describe it to my wife, she accused me of dreaming the whole thing after some bad weed in the 60's. 🙂

I am not a number, I am a free man!

Funny your wife said that as I am sure they made the same claims about the producer. BTW, it is on DVD, so you can prove it.

Be seeing you.
 
I did have the whole set on video but replaced it with the DVD version to save space. I still know quite a few people who quote from it and Portmerion is a good place to visit if you are in N Wales.

Sounds like some people here on RFF. 🙂

I just picked up his book One Train Later...time to dive into it.

Excellent photo.

The phrase "I am not a number.." is on the door of a shop specialising in Lotus/Caterham Sevens 'round here.
