I was lucky enough to meet David Bailey today.
A bookstore I frequent occasionally gets known photographers in for booksigning (or even just a hello). I missed Martin Parr a fortnight ago, but was given enough warning to turn up today and meet Bailey.
Funny guy, between myself and the store owners we had a good half hour or so chatting with him and his assistant before they went off to the BBC. Definitely likes to wind people up and have a joke.
I was afraid I'd be let down or disappointed, but luckily he was genuinely a nice guy.
Anyone else met him?
