Video, photography & elves

A little bit about yesterday… and on meeting an elf.

Fun, long, shoot yesterday, shooting photography and video in Keighley, West Yorkshire for a large (world renowned – Look at me! That does sounds like I’m blowing my own trumpet… I’m not) news and features agency, Barcroft Media.

Was shooting with a very interesting lady whose daily clothing and make-up is really quite different to most folk’s. She does stand out quite well with bright pink clothes, elaborate make-up and hip length blond hair,amongst others comments, people sometime didn’t notice her asking “Is he on stilts?”, I’m not. I’m 6’9″… maybe I should get it printed on a shirt or do a story on myself.

Then, when shooting in a shopping centre I heard a load of kids shout “Jonathan Pow!”. The turned around and saw a friend, dressed as an elf, entertaining the kids, it was work he assures me – He is the Fire Man Dave after all, don’t argue with a man who breathes fire and dresses as an Elf for money, lovely chap http://www.thefiremandave.com/

Normal day for me really.
