June 5 2006:
Zizzi

I’m not normally a fan of heavily photoshopped images, but I let myself go on this occasion. When I looked through the viewfinder, I immediately sensed a Mediterranean feel and wanted to convey that in the end result.

Unfortunately, the girl was wearing a white outfit caught by the evening sun – ideal for blown out highlights! C’est la vie!

Zizzi is a pizza chain, which I first sampled when I met up with Linda
and David last year. This branch in Woking is a new opening, and soon we are to get a Starbucks, but I will keep tasting my coffee in the shop opposite!
