Meeting amazing people.

[Mr Standfast]

We can complain about a lot of things in photography, fees, rights, access, changes in general the klist goes on!!

 

Sometimes though photography gives you an opportunity to meet amazing people.

 

I briefly met this gentleman today. He is mentioned in the Wikipedia article about the "Bristol Bus Boycott".

 

I quote:  "Stephenson set up a test case to prove the colour bar existed by arranging an interview with the bus company for Guy Bailey, a young warehouseman and Boys' Brigade officer. When Stephenson told the company that Bailey was West Indian, the interview was cancelled.^[7] Inspired by the refusal of Rosa Parks to give up her seat on a bus in Alabama and the ensuing Montgomery bus boycott in the United States in 1955, the activists decided on a bus boycott in Bristol."
