Star struck

A group of people out to commemorate Memorial Day, July 1, 2011, on Water Street in St. John’s are a little star struck and pose for a picture with Republic of Doyle star Allan Hawco. The new season, by the way, starts again January 11 on CBC.

Duckworth Street, St. John’s, Aug 19, 2011.

On my way home after some shooting this summer, I spotted this little guy looking back at me. With the unpredictability of children, I doubted I’d even have time to get the photo, but I tried anyway and I’m glad I did. This turned out to be one of my favourite shots from the summer.

The bagpipe man of Water Street

I had heard of this gentleman who plays the bagpipes on Water Street a few months ago. Then one evening, a few weeks later, as I walked down the street, I heard that unmistakable sound of the bagpipes. After a few photos, I had a chat with the musician and offered to email a photo or two of him — he politely declined — before I was on my way.

On November 13, I heard that same unmistakeable sound. This time, I was only across the street. A few photos, a smile and a wave, and an exchange of compliments — my camera and his bagpipe — and I was on my way again.

If anyone knows him, please leave a comment below.
