The World Around Me

Inspired by this weeks lecture that examined Cartier-Bresson and Lee Freidlander, I was intent on capturing moments from everyday life using the convenience of my digital camera. On Saturday morning I made my way to the Victoria Markets for food shopping. The array of fruit and vegetables provided a visually interesting backdrop for the bustle of people and the exchange of goods. From the photographs I have uploaded I particularly like one where the man is purchasing a pumpkin. Unaware that I was photographing either of them I was able to capture an ordinary moment in time. I also was quite pleased with the compositional elements in the photograph.
