As I turned up for my hair appointment and opened the door into Bridge Cuts one day last week, I loved Frank's outfit and said how great he looked.
I did already know that, during lockdown, Frank had taught himself tailoring at home.
He told me that he had made his waistcoat and trousers. (I 'specially loved the orange contrast.) And then I noticed his shoes and discovered he had found them by chance when perusing the web.
I had my iPhone with me, of course. It has now become my walkabout camera, my very first mobile acquired a year ago. So we had a little photoshoot.

This is the photo where I felt the background spoiled the shot. I did try unsuccessfully to clone out the bit of number!

Bridge Cuts, Frank and partners' hairdressing salon, sits on the road just below the railway bridge and just above the River Itchen.
Sometimes my short walk from the car park along the river path yields photo opportunities; sometimes I make my own as I did yesterday when I asked Frank if he would pose for a mono portrait.
Being a photographer himself, he was happy to oblige, and, looking round at the array of mirrors, I suggested we try for a reflection shot. I think it worked OK and I was lucky to arrive for my appointment in a pause in Frank's busy stream of hairdressing clients.
I'm sending him some photos with thanks for indulging me and I hope he is having a restful Sunday.
