"Behind every great ..." by

Canon 50D, Canon 28-90, fitted with macro converter No.4
Available light (night-time downlights, Melbourne))
Minor adjust of contrast

In our computer room, he sits to my left at his own computer … I think, he speaks … he thinks, I speak … I fumble over some computer gobbledegook, he comes to my rescue … “bloody user”, he mumbles with affection for me, an otherwise impatient retort of disdain he usually reserves for the ‘users’ he deals with daily … he is Phonon, my rock! Peering at me, in animated discussion from behind his computer screen, an image of several begging to be taken! ;o)

On redbubble, photographically not as prolific as I, far more critical and analytical than I … it is his nature, IT employed … what I lack, he compensates … 3rd time round, 3rd time lucky me!! :o)))

    Wonder what he’s really thinking. I know " It’s that womman who keeps sneaking up on people and taking their photograph without them knowing ". Cheers.P.

  • LOL!!! ;o))
    No, he actually knew about this one, I asked him to ‘hold still!’
    Had been chatting away with him, listening of course but all the while noticing the great light over his face! So I asked if I could take an image or two … kindly he agreed! :o)))

  • Hehe, thanks so much Shane :o)
    The glint in his eye could be mistaken for mischief (which he’s very good at!!) but is actually the light from his computer screen! ;o))
