Oxford bikes
Ok, this is the first (possibly) in a series that is fairly self explanatory. I’m not sure what I think of the pics but it is quite good fun taking them; especially with super speedy cyclists.
St Giles. Thursday evening.
Disembodied Ashmolean
The Unit. Day 61
Buffet lunch at our favourite Indian restaurant. Fun and filling. And no burgers.
Demonstration
Baffled streets
Walked up Cornmarket to catch the bus home and came across this crowd. And a new version of the statue geezer… Momentary bafflement, then time to move on.
May Day, Magnolia and Magdalene Bridge
No buses across Magdalene Bridge this morning as it was closed to traffic for May Day celebrations. So it was a beautiful walk from St Clements, up the High Street. Past revellers on their way home.
A rare ‘Who will buy?’ morning.
Pap street, pop stars and the guitar guy
Wandering around town earlier, with Rich. Camera in hand. Sun shining.
“Anticipation“, I said, cheerfully. “That’s one of the things I learnt on the street photography course.”
“Mmmmm“, said Rich. Most likely boredy bored with the whole street photography thing. “There’s some big cameras over there look“, he said, pointing towards three men standing together and staring down Cornmarket.
“Oh yeah,” I said, snapping some long haired guy with a violin and his girlfriend. Totally oblivious to the unfolding drama.
“Something’s going on. They’re looking for someone. Look.”
“Eh? Who?”
“Those men with the big cameras….”
And they were. Paparazzi. In Oxford? A huge Chinese pop star apparently. Though I didn’t see him. We did catch up with guitar guy on the way back though. Circles of time and place, and all that.
Market life (2)
Oh dear. Think I’d better apologise about my growing obsession with the framing, positioning and overlap of pitches, people and stuff at the weekly market.
