Where I live

As part of the course I am doing Xanthe and Kim suggested going on a photo walk so I thought I would show you parts of where I live in South London. Here is the market, this takes place every day, you could be anywhere in the world when you visit, all nationalities are represented, it is a very old and established market but I got told off by a stallholder for taking pictures this morning so didn't stay long.

























This cow stands outside the local butcher complete with the British flag.You can also see the friendly British postman in the picture too!


























This fence always looks so pretty

  3. Love marketplace photos, Justine however you might get a better reception if you do what I always do when photographing in a public place which is to get one or two people there involved by telling them you are a photographer and you will be doing a mini-documentary for a blog and ask if you may include them. I always give them my business card and tell them to go to my blogspot in a few days and look for the piece and I tell them the title will be. I did one recently on an auction that I pretty regularly attend and it went over nicely. No one cared I was around with camera in hand and after I started bidding I even forgot I had my camera with me....LOL Shame on that person for telling you to move on. I wouldn't buy anything from them "ever."

  4. Hi Justine love your photo walk some people are really grumpy aren't they ? I always worry about photo taking in the street. I think what Carol said is a good idea altho some people just don't get it . Any way enough about that, the cow is great I bet it's a real traditional butcher as well does it have sawdust on the floor ? All the old butcher's shops used to do that probably not allowed now lol.

  11. Justine, I love your marketplace photos! My husband and I are planning a trip to London, most likely next spring. Funny, but I had a similar experience taking photos in a street market in Boston last year. I don't understand why people wouldn't want their business photographed since it's free advertisement for them! Thanks for sharing!

  14. Beautiful images !! Love that fence and of course the cow looks very British. What a grumpy stall holder, you would think they would be happy with some promotion, after all the produce looks so fresh and delicious. Don't let one negative type put you off. xx

  18. The first time this happened to me (getting yelled at), I was reduced to tears literally right then and there.
    It's happened a few times since then, and each time it has gotten less bothersome. I am sorry this happened to you.
    I just love this fence. Wonderful colors and a great angle!

  22. Oh, I love this!! I so wish I lived in an area with a little more "culture". I often think I'd love to go on a photography walk, but all that's near me is fields. I love the peacefulness of this area, but I have to travel a bit for many photo ops.
