Photographer’s Note
2. Hey imagine this – out of the blue – no warning about this one – I mean his eyes smoked but what kind of giveaway is that – I didn’t know the guy was going to explode – unload his load – like that – he was one scary cat – man he just launched himself in my direction – had to exercise some discretion – stood my ground – shot my shot – was lucky I guess he got – distracted – overacted and got real mean with the guy next door – I shot my shot and hit the floor – ain’t goin’ to BIR-ming-ham NO morrrrrrrrrrrre….!
See y’all soon!
(Both photographs taken from an event at the MAC in Birmingham - I was invited as a promoter and potential booker of this ‘street act’ – I was convinced!! - Off to Belfast see you soon – Inshalla)
Notes on the robot - if you get the chance visit the website - it's a treat!!
Cyberstein
The Show
See the demonstration of a lifetime. Discover the values and benefits of having a Cyberstein Robot in your own home! Using the latest in Audio Technology the Demonstrator switches on the robot and then downloads the programming from the self-built computer which comes free with the Robot . Midway through the demonstration Cyberstein shows off his memory capacity by serenading a lady with an Opera song. Things get a little out of hand and chaos ensues when Cyberstein decides to give the lady the rose he is holding! (This is the bit in my photographs - he was a well meaning Robot who just couldn't contain his hormones!) It all ends with a must see impression of My Way (dance moves and all!!)
Very funny!!!!!! ...but seriously when this thing moves at you a charging rhino is less scary!

Great stuff!

My Gooooooooooooooodness, Kev!!! What a shot! It took me a while to find out what on earth was going on... and then I read your note, My Way and opera arias, and your comparison with a charging rhino, and am full of chuckles, the whole event sounds marvellous, this shot is so absolutely out of the ordinary in every way, very unique and looks like some visual Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk!
Bravo Kev!
