POST 5: THE STORY BEHIND A PHOTOGRAPH

 Say Cheeeeeeese!

Taking photographs is one of my hobbies and I’m pretty good at it, or so they say. I started to take photos when I was in my twenties with an old analog Zenit camera that someone lent me. That was back in the early 80s, so by now I have around ten albums with old prints, plus the photos I have taken with my digital camera.

Do you enjoy taking photos? Do you have a camera? Do you collect printed photos? Are you an Instagram freak?
This week you are expected to write about a photograph that you like. Make sure to include the following in your post:

·   Who took it

·  What it shows

·  When it was taken

·  Why you like it

Don't hesitate to include any other information you think is important.

Write at least 150 words.
Finally, add comments to at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs

Please, have a look at my sample post below.

Snap Shooting Around London.

I took this photo on my last trip to London, in July 2011, when I went to Camdem Town Market Place, which is a large market where you can find lots of things, such as handcraft, clothes, ethnic food, paintings, jewelry, rugs, antichs, -you name it-, therefore there are lots of things worth  a click.

This photo shows a very eclectic shop there, where, as you can see, they sell vintage clothes and  old pieces of furniture, along with some typical English pastries and beverages, and I took it while I was having a nice cup of tea. So it mixes two things I'm crazy about: antichs and good tea!

I know that this is a rather simple photo, but I like it since it reminds me of the good time that I spent in that city and in that cafe, which is a very special place with a very pleasant atmosphere where they  always play music from the 50s to the 70s, and where sometimes one of the owners plays beautiful tunes in the piano they have there.
