On a rainy day walking back to my car I spot a lone girl cleaning up in the ice cream stand on the beach. Its raining heavily, theres no-one at the beach and yet shes there and the stall is open. I asked for a photo for World Photo Day as I felt it summed up the idea perfectly. People in the real world. It was a totally random meeting, but perfect timing.

To the girl who this lovely smile belongs to, if you want a copy of the shot I can easily get one printed for you.

The creator of World Photo Day 2005 said this about my shot;

Drew Rossman: “How beautiful are both she and your photo. You have captured the essense of WPD2005 my friend.”

Its things like this that make life worth living.

    Cracking picture Pete (and a lovely looking girl too!!). You’re quite clearly a talented photographer and an inspiration to a wannabe just like myself!!

    It’s a lovely photo, a great way to remember my days working on the beach. Nice to have met you Pete :)

    The picture is fantastic. You saw something in her that I have been seeing for years now. I always thought she would look good in black and white. Thank you for transending the oceans and giving me a little piece of a friend of mine who lives so far away.

Have your say
