A snap that I printed a year or so ago, of a couple of Spivs caught at a WW2 re-enactment on a local preserved railway; they were lurking in a quiet corner absorbed in their adopted role.
Apart from using a Mamiya 7II, I cannot remember any other details except that the weather wasn’t very good.

EXcellent image, Dave - good one for a caption competition.

A good people pic and the engagement between the two spivs has been caught very well. These sort of shots are difficult to pull off and for a grabbed image it is very good. Something unusal and interesting.

Dave, simply excellent shot and I'm jealous of your Mamiya 7II.
Is that a dumpster they have their wares resting?


Well caught!

No, it's not a Dumpster (what a wonderfully descriptive term) they are travelling trunks of the sort that were popular here in the early part of the last century.

Hummm, not as elegant as the steamer trunks my grandma
had in her attic, but I'm sure they were serviceable, nontheless. So you liked "dumpster" lol. Well, like the Parisien patisserie having a sign in the window that reads: "English spoken, American understood", we Americans are guilty of
adding our own words to the language. ;o)
