The loss of his glasses during a Lamborghini tour should have been a disaster for severely myopic photographer Dean Smith, but somehow he still got the job done…
‘Gone. Whipped away by an unprintable slipstream. And now Jethro can barely see either because he thinks this is so funny that he’s crying with laughter. We pull into a lay-by about 2 kilometres down the road just before a toll and then Jethro and I walk back up the hard shoulder to look for the glasses.’‘Look, it seemed like a good idea. Anyway, everyone driving past is apparently calling the gendarmes saying there are two madmen walking alongside the motorway.
‘Trouble was, I then had to take photos without my glasses for the next two days, and that involved a lot of instinct mixed with guesswork. Jethro still maintains that it’s the best shoot I’ve ever done.’ ‘Well, there was always a chance that I was taking photos of random white and red car shapes, but for the cornering shots I knew it must be Jethro approaching because nobody else would be stupid enough to drive that quickly at the corner making that much noise.
‘The final ignominy was that when it was time to fly home, I had to be escorted through the airport by the staff because I couldn’t read the signs or find the check-in desk. I tend to take two pairs of glasses with me on shoots these days.’
