Mat and Ravi's photostream  

A portrait taken of Ravi's mum taken in natural light in her front room when we visited last weekend.

Not entirely a stranger, Fabien is The Big Issue seller in Stony Stratford who me and my wife often speak to on a Saturday morning. This day he had his two ferrets with him as well as his dog (the most docile and soppy Rottweiler i've ever seen) and so was attracting quite a lot of attention from passers by. The ferrets are brothers and are the offspring of a Polecat and a black ferret. One was was asleep in his hoodie and the other in his front pocket. Fabien is a really happy and cheerful person so go and chat to him and buy a copy of The Big Issue if you are ever passing through Stony Stratford.

This is the fifth of my photos for the 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com

I've sat a couple of meditation retreats with Eamonn - a great guy with a big heart

I'd never seen a field of poppies like this before. I made a last minute decision to attend a landscape workshop with Antony Spencer and Doug Chinnery in Wiltshire on Saturday. Great locations, good company and sound advice from Doug and Anthony made the trip down well worth it.

Although I struggled a bit without any filters to hold back the sky, I was quite happy with this image after a bit of time spent in photoshop.
