A dodgy photoshoot? Not unless you have the hots for cardigans!

A little while back I did a photoshoot for a lovely photographer named Michael (http://www.michaelhughesphoto.com/). The shoot was for a twitter based project, and he got in touch asfter being amused by one of my updates, funnily enough, made while on my way to shoot the Benjamin Francis Leftwich video. So we recreated the moment I'd tweeted, shooting in a car parked up in a private carpark around the back of a block of houses across the way from me. Just as we were finishing the police rolled up, and humourlessly began to interrogate us about our activities, that a neighbour had reported as being "suspicious". They were rather agressive and demanded to see the photos on the camera (which I have now found out they are not legally entitled to do) despite the fact that we were clearly not engaged in any pornographic activity. And they made me miss a lunch date with my Dad. Anyhow, as you can see from the final result above, there was nothing untoward going on, though I joked with Michael afterwards (after pointing out that he's jinxed us by jokingly mentioning before we began, "I hope the police don't show up and get you into trouble!") it was lucky we didn't shoot it with me wearing my skimpy circus costume as originally planned!
