Bargain Hunting?

I originally thought the lady was old as I lined up my camera, she turned just as I pressed the shutter button, she was quite young and she didn't look happy.

Temptation

Not a lot of people were being tempted even though it was extremely cold, the weather, that is!

Alfresco Studio

Looks like the sort of mess you imagine in an artist's garrett studio, good things do come from messy beginnings though.

Another Shopfront

I have photographed this particular shop more than once, the first time in Black & White, I have a large framed print of that first one on the wall above my desk. I have also photographed "The Body Shop" branch in Hong Kong.

Shopfronts

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I do like to photograph shopfronts. I thought I would add this one to my collection, I've never heard of "Menkind", funny name!

Like a Goldfish Bowl

I always photograph this place when I'm in the area, I like it best when there are people at the tables inside near the windows. I had to be content with photographing the guy photographing the girls. The best picture I ever got of this was years ago in the days of Black & White film.

Food Again

More people stuffing their faces.

Enterprising

I can't help wondering how long it takes the gravy to soak through the box and make rather a nasty mess of things!

Window Shopping?

The kid in the pushchair is not at all interested! still, nor would I be at his age.

Ancient & Modern

If the people dressed in period costume and the guy on the right legged it with his busking gear this scene could take on quite a medieval look.

Santa's Helpers?

It is an Ann Summers shop!!

Food on the hoof

The woman on the left looks quite concerned about what is happening with the hotdog or whatever it is. Is it a bet to see how much she can get in her mouth in one go! The rubbish bin appears to be swallowing the lower sign board.

Information

There is a lot of information in this picture. Recycling Station is a grand name for two bins, I like the ice cream thing on the left, the woman looks a bit wistful and maybe fancies an icecream but it's too cold so she has a hot drink instead. The cafe window, same price no matter what beverage, Coca Cola Zero, what's the Zero bit, never heard of that. The girl all wrapped up, gaudy leggings and a Polar Bear hat. The bloke's daydreaming, they haven't put the bags down so they'll be off soon. I wonder what's behind the blind in the window on the right!

Roaring Trade

I watched that couple towards the right for some time, fascinated by their obvious love of Bang On Burgers!
