Talking about BJP...

Author:

Olivier Laurent

David Bowen, a freelance photographer currently based in Norway, was featured in BJP in March 2002. Last week, he published a blog post about how he ended up being in our magazine.

He writes: 'The features editor was out of the office, in a pub having lunch.. so i wandered off to the pub, sweating and out of breath from the quick rush across from covent garden tube.
bursting into the pub i walked up to the bar and gently interrupted the landlord, who was chatting with a customer..
i asked for the editor by name - did he know him?
he told me he did not and so i walked around the pub searching.. asking at each table.. courteously interrupting all without any joy.'

And, no, we won't let you know what pubs and restaurants the BJP editors are visiting these days.
