That running from the camera is brilliant! What amuses me greatly is how big in the picture the larger and older people are. Does that make me a bad person?
I was a bit confused as to whether it was the same person running away in each photo, dressed differently or whatever. But now I think about it, probably not.
It is me in every picture… how far I manage to get depends mostly on how stable the camera is, I usually don’t use a tripod and if the camera is balancing on the edge of a dustbin or something like that I have to be very careful in pushing the button and I make a slow start…
I don’t think I’d be confident leaving my camera balanced on something while running away in the other direction - mainly because, in London, I’d be sure that when I turned around I’d see someone running off in the other direction with my camera….
muggezifter, I’m amazed you’ve never had your camera stolen. Although if you did, and you’d set it onto multiple shots just before, the thief could blog an amazing set of shots of you running away from the camera, turning around, realising it’s being stolen, and then running back towards it to chase the thief.
Well, if you look at the pictures, you will see that most of them were taken in places where there were not many people around… also, occasionally I ask someone to guard the camera for me.

Absolutely. BAD Rhys. BAD.

I’m not sure now, it could be the same person (there’s no blondes, for one), and the people do look alike.
May’ve just lost some weight, and….aged.

Aha! Mystery solved. Thank you!

I feel REALLY bad now, my apologies muggezifter :(
Great idea for a blog though :)
The running from camera blog is great. Very funny.
