We rode down to St. Johns Park this afternoon to check out the community picnic. There was a pretty good turn-out, but in typical North End fashion, the vast majority of the people who turned up were standing in the near-endless line for free food.
One of the vendors at the farmers' market this morning had a variety of colourful carrots for sale. When she saw me pull out the camera for a shot, she got flustered and insisted that I let her spray them down first. Once I'd got a couple of shots she politely asked which paper the article was going to be in. It's interesting that SLRs have become so scarce these days that when people see one they immediately assume you are a professional. I told her that I was just taking pictures for a personal web site, but in retrospect I wish I had simply made up a name for some obscure publication.
"Oh, well these shots will be for an article on heritage vegetables in the New Denver Post-Marxist Environmental Times. I can't promise that they will use these pictures though, since we have agents at other farmers' markets as well."
( Yesterday's picture was a bit lame. )
