Portobello Road

[Jim Kuo]

I went to Portobello Road with our photography society yesterday, and took a few snaps that I find interesting. I hope you will find them amusing, too.

#1, busted!

#2, OMG, is that a horse?

#3

#4

#5, the store lady didn't like her picture taken...

#6, the photowalk had a theme called "time", where members were encouraged to submit "time" related pictures. I was having a laugh by abuse of my understanding of the topic, and took a picture of my watch in the market

#7

Thanks for viewing, your feedbacks and comments are the most welcome.

Yep, definitly busted in #1 haha. interesting shots! i think they're all great.

 

[Jim Kuo]

Thanks Brodie, glad you like them

 

[Hamish Gill]

Jim, I like them all!
But the first two and the fifth are the best!
Probably, IMO, one of the best examples of documentary street photography we have had on here!
What's the woman shouting?
Makes me wish I lived in a slightly more interesting city!
I must go up Birmingham with the x100 and see what I can get!
One of these is going in the next header of that's ok?

 

[Paul Lange]

Great stuff Jim, wonderful images. I think the one at the market stall is excellent. The woman shouting, the dog looks like it's inspecting himself in the mirror and the to guys wearing odd clothes.

Thanks Hamish and Paul.

She shuted "no pictures!" loudly but politely (not swearing).

It wasn't the only instance when we were objected, which I thought was pretty weird in a touristy market like Portobello Road market. Tourists take pictures right? I would have thought those store owner should be used to it by now and welcome the free advertising?

It turned out pictures with some unintended interactions were the best. But the experience was somewhat daunting

RE: header, yes please

 

[Hamish Gill]

Awesome! That makes it even better for me!!
That sort of interaction does work for me!
Does it make you feel more comfortable taking photos when your in a group of people taking photos?

 

[Jim Kuo]

Yes, I was definitely feeling the safety in numbers effect when I was in a group!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Awesome, as we say around here

Love the 'Porsche Parking Only' sign on the old-signs stand - classic London!

 

[Jim Kuo]

Oh yeah, I missed that

 

[Alastair Cummins]

Great work, you would never see me doing this type of photography, I just dont have the confidence!

 

[Jim Kuo]

Thanks Alastair. I was walking with a group, and every other tourist in the area also had a camera helped
