Black Beret (pen & ink)

I can only assume this man was the creative type (the beret and he was constantly writing, although that may have just been a crossword or suduko). He was a great subject. Moved around quite a bit, even sprung from his seat to stand and stare out the window at one point. I captured lots of different poses but this is my favourite.

Couple of Commuters (pen & ink)

Not much to say about this one. Couple of people reading the newspaper. They may know each other. Maybe not.

SMH Crossword

Four across, seven letters; act of taking water from well, perhaps also with pen and paper.

Lost Sight of My Pupils

Reminds me of the old joke about the cross-eyed teacher: couldn’t control his pupils. Sorry

Long-arm Woes

I would love to to read the paper -just once – without squinting. It’s sooooo far away. These long arms of mine are very handy at times (clever me, did I just make a pun?). It’s all very well cracking jokes but my eyesight’s suffering. And my back’s out from dragging these giant mitts around.
