Stockton

After discussing with JPsview and Tomsview, the pro's and con's of taking blips of randoms in the street and the potential for an adverse reaction when Amy told me that we needed to head into Stockton, I decided to go armed with the camera.

I have to admit my initial bravado changed to significant apprehension once I actually landed in the streets of Stocko and was faced with the sheer ugliness of the majority of the people, the curled lips, the snares I could almost hear their mutterings of "wha the **** does ee fink ee's doing".

Anyways, when I saw a family of three sat on a bench tucking into their hearty meal of Greggs chicken bakes I knew that I had to brave it. Out came the camera and I tried to make it look like I was getting a blip of a small piece of street art, all the while keeping the family in the corner of the shot ...

Unfortunately non of them worked out because I was never brave enough to point the camera directly at them so instead I tried some different streetscapes using a few of the tricks Tomsview had told me about and I was over the moon with the results and can't wait to try it again. This is more the type of thing that i was aiming for when i was blipping Grey's monument a couple of weeks ago.

Right not sure on my connectivity over the next week, I will be gathering my blips, but whether i can get them on or not is another thing. If there is anything amazing i will do my best, but mobile signal is weak in the village we are heading too and last time i was there it was hard werk enough just getting the footie results downloaded nevermind trying to do anything clever with the internet.

Take care all and keep on blipping.
