Waiting on the rain... in Ireland!

So, I missed another week of the Street Photography Now challenge - week 16. Last week Martin Parr set the challenge, "wait for the rain, it makes shooting in the street easier and more interesting". So, this was quite a funny one to receive whilst in Ireland, which is notorious for rain.

With no rain to work with I just burrowed on with other work - relating to research on Modernist Churches and camera obscuras - until Thursday. On the last day I made a point of finding something to work with that would fit the brief! Ironically enough attending a photography talk in Belfast Exposed led to me not getting home in time to upload the photo onto Flickr before the midnight deadline. Oh well, there are still plenty of weeks to come...

Aftermath...

Week 14: "Show us the aftermath." - Maciej Dakowicz

With limit time this week my photo opportunities were limited to what I could find whilst shopping or walking to and from work. Luckily my work is firmly based on the fleeting moments so I found something quite fitting for this week's brief.

This 'aftermath' scene is the result of a few things: one, bad parking by the guilty owner of the silver car; two, the placement of the car beside the freshly painted taxi mural; and finally, the 'Keep Right' sign pointing at the traffic warden who is upholding his position and booking the silver car.
