Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 30 March 2012 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

John Sweetman the official Town Cryer for the city of Truro in Cornwall. John reading out the proclamation on Truro Cathedral steps to begin the St Piran's Day celebrations. This is the last in this series.

Sorry for the lack of comments yesterday and thanks to all how left me comments

Canon EOS 500D 1/400 second F/8.0 ISO 100 75 mm

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

Judging by those medal ribbons, he looks to have some tales to tell.
