EXPERIENCE #47: BECOMING A STALKER FOR 28 MINTUES


So my sister and her lovely girlfriend brought me back a little mini camera from their recent escapade to the U.S.

Today Sam and I harnessed the true and awesomely great powers of this discreet little gizmo by stalking a lady and taking one photograph of her every minute until the reel of film was up.

The camera has a special setting that allows you to take double the amount of shots by halving the size of the photographs, this means that in total I could have snapped the old dear we stalked a total of 72 times.

Anyway, the lady we chose was one of those mutton passing as lamb types you know the ones, totally past their sell by date but still bleaching, tanning, waxing and dressing like twelve year old's?

So we followed her from shop to shop and looked like total bloody dorks, the shops tended to be tiny and so it was pretty apparent as to what we were doing.

Nonetheless we continued with the challenge until we got to 28 minutes when it all fell to pieces. Our subject left the store and must have made a run for it or something because we couldn't find her anywhere.

We sort of concluded that we must have freaked her out a bit too much and that she had hidden or something. I suppose it would have been better if it had been a more inconspicuous affair and that the lady hadn't immediately realized, it was a rush though and a bit of a chuckle.

I hope that the woman I chose isn't too damaged from this one and that she still feels safe clip-clopping around the streets of Newquay.

This experience is dedicated to Dani and Nina, thanks for such an awesome freakin present! x

Pictures to come for this one...
