I’m really quite insecure about taking candids in my own town. Probably because I’m afraid someone I know will see me and think I’m a bit soft in the head. Also because you don’t see many cameras in my town on a Wednesday afternoon and so I hardly melt into the background.
I know the purists will say that this photo goes against the rules. Two friends are chatting but are divided by a huge pillar behind them, and another is just having a conversation with your right hand! But I do like the afternoon light here – there is something special about the light under glass canopies.
