I traveled to London last summer. One of my all-time favorite places I visited was Portobello Road. Luckily it was a short walk from the BYU London Center, so I was able to go more than once. It was a crowded place, stuffed with tourists, vendors, and regular Londoners there to shop through the many outdoor and indoor stores and booths.
It was authentic--not a cheap, ritzy sort of market. People were selling all sorts of things--from tea kettles and Polaroids to crepes and fresh produce. For me, this image captures the essence of the market place--all its hustle, bustle, and productivity, as well as the lifestyle and culture of the people of London. Every time I see it, it reminds me of that day spent making new friends and experiencing the sights and sounds of London.
I edited the exposure on this picture. The original was a little dark, so I lightened it up so that the texture of the bread was a little clearer.

I've been to Portobello Road and this picture definitely takes me back to fun times exploring the market.
ReplyDeleteVERY COOL. I love bread so I feel the emotion here. Though I think cutting out the man behind would be better. I don't know
ReplyDeleteI love how the photo shows the texture of the bread really well. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture! I especially love how detailed it is!
ReplyDeleteI love all the small details that are included in picture. I feel like any person could look back at the photo two or three more times and find another interesting detail.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture because it captures the food and culture of London. It shows how small and quaint the shops are and the goodness that comes from simply eating the food and experiencing the little shops. Also, I love bread, so it's great.
ReplyDeleteSo good Lauren. I love the closeness to the materials and seeing the different textures. I love it.
