Much to my surprise, I still seem to be alive...
Spring Fling Weekend is over.
When I opened the door on Saturday morning, I had 8 photos on the wall - a few friends who'd been helping me dry-run my process, as well as my son and daughter. For the same reason a busker will put a few coins in his hat or cup before he plays, I wanted a few sample pics on the wall in order to remind the public they could contribute.
By the close of day, 141 people had come through the doors, 70 of them had agreed to be photographed, which meant I had added 54 more photos to the wall (some were photographed in pairs or threes).
On Sunday 115 people visited, 64 of whom had their photo taken, resulting in a further 48 photos being added to the walls
As I closed the door for the last time, on Monday, another 77 people had been in, with 38 having their photo taken and 27 more images put up.
I am now sitting in my studio with faces of every age, size and shape looking at me.
It worked.
And I didn't even have a coffee.
However, it might take me a while to recover and I think I'm going to be feeling a little fragile for several days to come.
Photos and stories will follow over the coming weeks.
Oh, and for those wondering about Rogan's progress - he almost completely sold out of his home baking, meaning he has finally raised enough money to pay off the last installment of his T in the Park ticket
