Glasgow's Night Lights
My young cousin ( Oor Ian) wanted to visit Glasgow at night to try out his new camera ( Canon EOS 700D) so me being the kind person that I am, I took him down the River ( Clyde) side next to both the BBC & STV studios to start off our night time photography, we had a laugh to ourselves at the strange looks we were getting, so would just say hi there, others would avoid us thinking they'd be in the shot and at one point, 2 young gay lads approached Oor Ian ( we up in Lanarkshire always refer to our family as a Oor ( our) then their first name) they stopped in their tracks, then one says to his partner in that Camp voice... Ooh! Look do you think he's a professional photographer, now I was standing about 15 feet away and looked over, looking at my cousin who almost froze on the spot at being approached in the first place and even more so when he heard them ask in that accent, I looked away and sniggered to my self ( shoulders moving up and down like a child trying do to be noticed) then I heard the other lad say.. Auch aye he must be, he's got the proper equipment! At that point I looked across ( still laughing out quietly, shoulders now moving rapidly and causing myself an injury ) and see Ian's face glow bright red and saying nothing, looking at me like an animal frozen in a bright light, looking for me to intercept! I just gave him one of those looks that says.. Deal with it yourself mate!!
Then they ask him again, but this time both together in Stereo... Are you a Professional Photographer Mister? Then I hear his voice replying in a tone that's about 4 octaves higher than normal( you know the sound, like a 4 year old boy) Cough Cough, Er Aye Lads eh! I am that, to which they both reply in a joyful duet voice.. Oh goody ( jumping and hands clapping at the same time) could you Please take Our Picture, at this point Im on my knees and can't for the life of me breath!!!
I never looked round again, saw the flash go off and heard them saying thanks!
Once I gained control of my body and mind, got up from the ground, looked at Oor Ian and his face was like Mars! What happened I said... Stuttering he says, do you see that? No, what happened, I took there photo and they both hugged and kissed me.. More Laughter from me, this time Out Loud!!
Well then I said, lets see the photo, it was a disaster, the FBI couldn't make them out lol
So on we go taking more photos of the city of Glasgow at night.. He'll never leave my side again at night, that's for sure haha!
