You can call this an introduction to a new album I decided to start. Part of Nikhil’s fascination with Street Photography led us into the market area at Bourda, and since I am less of a street photographer and more of a non-human subject type person, I took more of the items being sold than the persons selling them 🙂 So, I decided to start a Market album, it may not go far, or if Nik drags me screaming and kicking into the markets again, it might grow 🙂

Hey! Loving the depth of field and all the bright popping colours… I can’t decide between no. 2 and 5 as my fave. Maybe 5 though. Nice series!
Thanks Azadine! Deciding is always hard, maybe I should have put a poll on this one 🙂
Nice photos Mike, love the colour contrasts.
Thanks Jaclyn, I’m a sucker for bright colours 🙂
I do think it makes for interesting photography. I have taken some similar shots, but haven’t done anything with them. Great job here. Love the color and the atmosphere portrayed through the cardboard signs. very good.
Thanks, I think maybe the album can grow a little 🙂 the future has much in store.
Do you realize that you get some pretty nice pictures when I drag you somewhere new? 🙂
As always it is fascinating to see how different our respective takes on an area can be.
Nik, I didn’t realize that 🙂 but keep dragging me places, with my wife’s permission of course 🙂
Love them all. I wish I could get some of those fresh looking vegetables. Everything looks so healthy. I think “just one stall” would make a beautiful picture for a dining room wall. It will also remind one that eating vegetables are very important in life. Now I am waiting for the fruits.
Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for the fruits next time 🙂
Great photos. Those last three are my favourites.
Thanks Nigel! it was a bit of fun 🙂
Bourda looks nice!
Thanks Fidal! 🙂
I like the bold colors, as for street photography you have captured some nice details. I often find it obtrusive to take people photos, and do you need a photo release?
I am also a bit pensive about street photography and taking photos of people on the streets. I asked a friend of mine about the legality of it and he (being a lawyer) informed me that here in Guyana (as in most commonwealth countries) there is not Right to or expectation of privacy if you are in a public place. So in that case we do not need consent forms etc. Of course, if someone doesn’t want their photograph taken then we should not do so either. A good resource is at http://www.krages.com/phoright.htm, but the laws vary from country to country.
Beautiful pictures, wonderful colors. I like the picture with the purple fruit, although I do not know their names. And of course, the one with chiles, my favorites 🙂
Thanks Kerstin,
I hope to do more of Market photography in the future 🙂
Michael- love the market shots. the colours are wonderful! I too take my camera when I go market shopping.
Thanks Sheila, that was my first attempt at that 🙂 I am glad it came out well.
