This is Denis. I first spoke to Denis before we boarded an aeroplane for the same flight we were to take. The conversation didn't really start flowing until we were "disembarking" as the flight attendants called it, or "getting of the plane" as I say.

Our conversation was the usual blokes' chat of football, current airport security regulations, football, places to live, the current state of the game of football, and Kenny Dalglish, a man we both admire. Denis has led a very interesting life, is still working occasioanlly desite being a septuagenarian.

I had already identified that Denis would make the perfect stranger after we'd first exchanged a few words. To be honest, during the flight I planned making the stranger-request to Denis. I knew that if I got the chance to approach Denis about the 100 Strangers project that our time would be brief, so I would have little time to get the camera ready. In preparation I slipped on my nifty fifty - light would be limited and it was the fastest of the two lenses I had with me, set the aperture to f3.5 - because of my focus issue on previous stranger number 3, set the white balance to tungsten - best guess of what conditions would be like inside the terminal, and let the camera do whatever it thought best with the ISO.

So Denis and I were chatting after "disembarking". The conversation was flowing so well I almost forgot about the project, but I did eventually get round to talking about the 100 strangers group on Flickr and my paricipation in it. I'm not sure Dennis knew too much about Flickr, but he did very kindly agree to pose for me. Denis was not only a delight to talk to, but a real gentleman and a genuinely nice stranger to talk to. I would like to thank him for agreeing to pose for me. I am so glad I joined this project. I feel it has enriched me, and I'm only four strangers in.

Background choices were somewhat limited, but it's the stranger that counts.

Dennis played association football professionally for both Manchester United and Manchester City in the 1960s and 1970s. He played for his national side Scotland over 50 times, and is their joint highest scorer with 30 international goals. He really is a terrific guy. A pleasure to meet, greet and photograph.
