Oh, boy, does this Break The Rules! From fashion rules to rules of composition everything about this image bugs me nearly beyond tolerance. In fact, once I'd started breaking rules I broke another (of my own) which is "once posted don't regret, just move on" by deleting the first posting of this image ; this version has been cropped a bit more on the right than the original post was as I just couldn't bear to look at it. Even this one irritates me as it's just everything a photo should not be :-) which is the point I guess. It does remain one of those instances when a pedestrian moment seemed to fit a photographic challenge. This image also proves my rule that street photography is better in B&W.
Apologies to anyone who commented on the initial posting of this image :-) I a control freak!
The only rule that does apply here is my own, which is that one should have a reliable P&S to hand at all times. Apart from cropping and my signature this is SOOC.
Food shopping in Europe is a task I seem to undertake far more frequently than I did in the UK (and South Africa for that matter) as fresh food is just that and it's better to buy only what you need when you need it in order to avoid waste. However this means way too many trips to the local supermarkets and grocery stores for my liking and it's a task that soon loses its appeal.
