My holidays have officially started with the little innovation event we organised being completed yesterday. My presentation was about designing your own funeral. I wonder if there are any funeral photographers around.
So today I decided to make July a ‘First Time July’, which means I do something for the first time for every day that occurs in July. It’s sort of like being a kid again, always wanting to cross the line and do something for the first time; it’s about rebellion but more about innocent curiosity. Today’s first time was eating cheese sorbet (on top of carrot cake) and that was not nice at all. I saw a bright blue grand piano and upright piano for the first time too when I walked past the Chelsea Pianos store. I also went to the cinema alone for the first time today (to catch Ice Age 3). I’m pretty much okay with doing some things alone but only when I was in Cannes recently talking to my friend who mentioned watching movies alone that I realised it’s something I’ve never done before. Looking forward to more ways of surprising myself everyday this July.
Today on the tube, this happened ( – every day of your life can be a story):
The cheeky little boy was swinging round the holding pole in the train as though he was at a playground.
His American mum just stood there, letting her son be, when she caught sight of the surfer dude in the opposite corner.
“Do you want him? I can see you looking at him thinking he looks like fun.”
The surfer dude smiled and continued smiling for quite a while longer.
The first photo is great!
I really like it.
