Snap!

September 26, 2007

Have you ever wondered about ending up in other people’s holiday snaps? Because you do, inevitably, especially in tourist spots. I was roaming around the Boqueria yesterday, in search of a late lunch –4.30pm still counting as lunchtime in these parts. People snapping away left, right and centre, and you have to figure you’re an extra in at least half a dozen holiday makers’ shots. So you end up between the sticky pages of someone else’s album, being passed around the coffee table along with a plate of biscuits and the milk. Or, more likely and even worse, on a desktop as part of a screensaver slide show. And who’s that? Someone might ask. Oh, no one, the reply would be. But wait till you see the size of the lobsters!
