A little bit about my childhood
I found this old photo today and it brought back some of the happiest times of my life before I met PPWP, so I thought I would share them with you, my beloved audience.
My parents always thought I was the cleverest of their bunch of sprogs and really wanted me to get a little education, but there was no way they could afford it.
One day they were approached by this local scholar, Dave Wang, who offered to teach me reading, writing and a little trigonometry. All he wanted in exchange was that I should occasionally model for him, as he was developing a keen interest in serious photography and was always in need of subject matter.
Well, it turned out that I was actually as thick as pig shit, but Dave really taught me a lot about photography, especially candid street photography. Sadly, my parents didn’t like some of the photos he’d been taking of me and got Dave arrested on suspicion of doing bad things to me.
My first day on the job.
Which he did do, but I liked it and said he could, so that makes it alright, doesn’t it?
Anyway, that was enough schooling for me, a couple of sisters had died over the winter and my parents were strapped for money to feed their opium habits, so I got a job at the local wank parlour.
Junior Jizz Mopper I was to start with, at the beck and call of the customers, always at hand with a damp cloth and a feather duster. I soon rose through the ranks though and once I was Head Mopper, I was allowed to use the mop itself. Which sure beats being on my hands and knees all day.
It might not sound like the most glamorous of jobs, but I loved it! I got to meet so many people, and I was allowed to continue my hobby of taking photos of people when they they thought no-one was looking.
It was this natural flair for photography in compromising positions that eventually led me to that loveable old scrote, Clicky McPhotographer.
Fuck knows where I would have been today were it not for Dave Wang’s guiding hands. God bless you, Dave.

Some people just down know how to leave a dead horse unbeaten

Did Dave Wang use a holga or a lomo? I’m beginning to worry about people who do…
