Not famous? I'll take your picture!




I'm renowned for never recognising anyone famous if they come within my orbit, and unless there were neon signs pointing it out I could walk past The Pope in his Papamobile and not know it. So imagine my excitement when I thought I was standing at the traffic lights next to someone famous! But then, I got home, checked Google Images and based on chin, face, eyebrow and body shape realised I probably hadn't been standing next to Ben Elton. I wonder what this bloke thought about me taking his pic though?

    Amusing! I often take photos of strangers because I think there's something interesting about them, and most are flattered when I ask. Especially true in México...those loco gringos, you know! I like this photo because it reflects daily life. Have a good week-end!

    Ben Elton? You got to be kidding. You were that close to George W. Bush and never recognized him? Sally! Same on you.

    I'm sorry, Sally, but who is Ben Elton?

    Hey Sally,
    He certainly looks like a film star, perhaps it's Tom Cruise ??
    Check out the autograph you got. Might be a clue there, mate.

    Good photo of Market City, the monorail and a taxi though.

    Thank you Alice, your question should have been the mine :-) --- Then Sally you make me laugh 'cause I'm absolutely like you: I am not able to recognize anyone around to me when I'm out.

    Oh, that looks like Cindy Crawford. No, not the guy. The woman taking the photo. :-)

    Interesting, how many times in life we realise, we are doing something extraordinary, only to wonder later that, why we didn't know about the exact thing at that priceless moment...Well captured shot!

    Perhaps he thought you thought he was the recently disgraced former Swansea Pollie? Closer than Ben Elton, although only Ben is allowed out alone.

    Next time I bump into that guy, I'll recognise him as the Famous Guy in Sally's blog!
