James Brett

I took this photo of James as I was leaving the pub. It was the first time I met him. I hope I can say, we went on to be good friends. The legend reads; ‘Some Old Bloke Sitting In A Pub Smoking A Cigar Whilst Reading The Obituaries In The Paper By The Window Holding On To His Glass Of Red Wine At A Table By The Door’. The pub was Micawbers Tavern on Pottergate in 2005. I came up with the idea of describing the scene, and wrote it in one take. Extraordinary picture, extraordinary guy.
