Can You Hear The Drums, For Nando's?

A Journalist Never Reveals His Sauces

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


This is the beauty of digital technology, because I only just shot these frames, less than an hour ago. I was driving down Waverley Road here in Melbourne, when I noticed a Nando's delivery truck parked outside a newsagent. I immediately indicated, swung into a nearby parking spot - they can be hard to find on this stretch. I walked over to the driver of the van to ask his permission to photograph the van to highlight the bright colours and the slogan for Nando's famous Peri-Peri sauce. The first frame is a tight shot of the side of the van, while the second is a three-quarter frame to show you the van's surroundings. And for all my overseas readers - the Herald Sun, The Australian and The Age are all newspapers.

FOOTNOTE: Must have been a Peri Mason mystery!

  2. Hi Keshi,

    Thank you. I'm glad you liked the shot. As you can see, I really like using a tight frame when I compose a shot.

    Glad you liked the post. Thanks for getting back so quick.

    Take care. Be strong. Be grateful for the fleeting lives that touch us all. Been there, done that, so I know how you feel.

    I wish you strength.

    Keep smiling

    That ad copped a lot of flak in the `Letters to the Editor' columns here in Victoria.

  14. Ah, Bruno,

    You sure have made my eyes light up now!

    By the way, you might be interested in the shots I took of not one but two Rolls-Royces - I think the post was called `Opera of the Phantom'
