Mike
Mike has the distinction of being the first man to buy me a "proper" bourbon, having felt it was his sworn duty when I admitted to the grave error of considering Southern Comfort or Jack Daniels as bourbon.
He also has the distinction of having the best opening line of anyone I've ever met at a blogmeet.
This photo was taken when we met up with Mike and his lovely wife Christine, while they were honeymooning in London last month. This photo was snapped across the table in TGI Fridays, courtesy of the trusty (but tricky - it wouldn't open itself up for me to change film) and ever present Lomo.
Part of me wishes I hadn't caught him mid-word, but part of me likes it for exactly that reason, because it is a truly candid and unposed portrait.

You really have got a knack with that LC-A, my dear. Makes me wonder exactly what word was being spoken as you pressed the shutter release.

There are TGI Fridays in England??

Gorgous image and a wonderful portrait! What a great way to return a favour for your bourbon education. I also often find it helps to have TGI Fridays blurry and out of focus . . .

All of your portraits seem to capture a little from within. Nicely done.

Flattered, I truly am. We had a blast that night.
(And no, neither SoCo nor Jack Daniels are bourbons.)

I've known Mike for years & I've never seen a picture capture him as well as this does. Very well done!
