My Local Community #1: Butcher
So I was challenged to take more photographs of strangers, then Ly Wylde emailed me and said I should take photographs of pillars of my community. Weirdly, I had thought of doing something similar months ago so thank you Ly for re-igniting that idea!
I have decided to take photographs of the proprietors of shops in our local community. We live about a 2 minute walk from 20 or so individual businesses and I'd really like to photograph them in their shops/businesses as they normally are.
I was a bit nervous with this first one. I explained what I was doing and he was more than happy for me to take his picture, but looking at it now I wish he was holding a rabbit or a cleaver or something. Anyway I think he looks proud and territorial which is good. He is our local butcher and has been there for years. Definitely a pillar of our community.
