picture taking

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Actually had my first request this weekend. Myself, my wife, and 2 daughters went to the mall oin Saturday afternoon to browse and let the girls play on the indoor playground. As we were leaving, my youngest decided to a have a little fit and did not want to walk with us. No problem, I just grabbed her about the waist and slung her off my hip, and she was flying along with me, still crying. Which, now that I think about it, must have been a pretty funny picture. Anyway, this guy comes up from behind with a camera in his hand (a very professional looking digital), and asks to take my picture, and he wanted me to keep my daughter where she was!

Forgot to ask him for a copy.

When I was in Edinburgh a few years ago, I was coming out of St. Giles Cathedral when I noticed some people trying to take a picture of the outside, so I hurried to get out of the way, when they asked in broken English if they could take a picture of a real Scotsman. I told them I wasn't Scottish, but they said that no one back home would know the difference. So they got a picture of a man in a kilt in front of St. Giles to take home and show everyone what a real "Scotsman" looks like.

I must look unfriendly or in a hurry because I have only ever been stopped in the street twice and asked to pose for a picture (which I happily agreed) - both times by Japanese tourists - once in my black watch kilt in Princes Street, Edinburgh and once in my Cunningham kilt in Fort William.
