Namesakes: funny things, they can blight you through life, or simply pass you by – I wonder how many people called Robert Nastanovich know they share the same name as one of my idols growing up… similarly I imagine those unfortunate enough to be called Paul McCartney, Dr Shipman or David Beckham never get a minute’s peace. With the surname Davidson, I’ve never much liked it when people call me Jim; a wife-beating racist with a bad line in middle of the road comedy is hardly someone I want to be associated with.
However, much as this is a fascinating Tuesday lunchtime subject for us all to dwell on – what’s the point? The point is my friends, if you were fortunate enough to be blessed by Mr and Mrs Bailey as David, Samsung are looking for you. To celebrate the launch of their new NX1000, the tech brand are on the hunt for those who share their name with one of the world’s most iconic photographers; East Ender, David Bailey.
Are you David Bailey? If you are, head over to Samsung’s Facebook page and enter yourself, they’re looking to find 200 for an event in London on 29th September, where you’ll be given an NX1000 to go out and prove that with a little help from their dazzling technology; you can be the David Bailey you’ve always been mistaken for. Brilliant.
