A SPLIT PERSONALITY ? NO AS IT IS

[Julian de'Courcy]

The tourists arrive in abundance through the summer with a synergy taking place for a multitude of reasons and outcomes. There are those that rely solely on their chosen profession and enjoy their independence. Others mingle and survive the winters as independent traders yet take the influx as an open opportunity to help themselves to see out the lean months. It is diverse, dynamic, energetic and interesting to observe. Mevagissey is crowded in this short time. Car parks have queues, street are full of browsers, fish and chip shops in full swing, the vanilla ice creams dropped on the street scooped up by the gulls. Yet unlike many small fishing villages it does have a central core serious industry, fishing, which enables it to still retain an identity, for even those who were never or no longer involved.

What an interesting contrast in the photos and so meaningfully described. Great pictures, too, Julian,...both of them.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Great pair of images, two sides to the same place. So many vistiors to rural areas seem to forget that it is a working environment, not a theme park.

Those tourists need to cheer up a bit - they are on vacation.

Thank you Dave. So true about the theme park you mention. I thought they looked grumpy as well.

Love her pink sandals, and his troubled mien.

The second is a good action shot, with one pair of eyes on the camera. Fine stuff.

 

[Pete Askew]

Super timing and what a great expression. Love Fatface in the background.

And another super dockside action shot.

Thank you Rob. Yes I also wonder if the troubled mien owns a bulldog.

Thanks Pete. Yes the first big/little corporate sell out. Shirts are good shorts are soso, buttons fall off everything I buy from them, I wondered if they sent their seconds to Mevagissey

The couple look very mad at you Julian

Aldous I was shocked when I opened the raw file. If I'd observed his contempt at the time I'd probably have given him a grumpy look back

A wonder he's grumpy, being a photographer himself or maybe it is a disguise. Very good series and a two sided story conveyed well. I'll shy the tourist season next time.

Thank you Ivar. For many Cornwall is horrible at this time of the year, the experience is like any tourist destination in it's holiday season. There are this year far more people arriving to eat ice creams carrying camera's and looking miserable. But hey I've been a tourist somewhere I am sure. Much nicer here out of season.
