Day 25 - Sheffield Life

Today has been great! I have been out and about doing what I love and I couldn't ask for more! I had an appointment this morning in Sheffield and so I decided to take my camera with me and spend the afternoon wandering around capturing life. I took so many photos that I actually had difficulty choosing my shot for the day! I had some really lovely coversations with loads of people and got to take some good photos which I hope I can use for my Serendipity launch party which is in a couple of weeks.

The Barber's Shop photo was a real Serendipity moment for me. I had got on a bus to come home but there was something wrong with the traffic and we were stuck in a queue going no where so I decided to get off and walk. As I was wandering up London Road this little shop caught my eye; the red chairs, sweeny todd character and the hair on the floor - I loved it! I walked past and then doubled back to ask the owners if they would mind if I took a photo! I think they were quite shocked that I had asked and wanted to tidy up first but I asked them to leave it as I loved the feel this had of a busy shop but without the people. I think I'll get a copy of this photo done and go and give to them as a thank you!

The 2nd photo was taken in Cafe Nero near the Peace Gardens. I decided to stop for a drink and was playing around with my camera. I didn't want to be too obvious taking photos but I loved the line these chairs made with the people in them. Normally I would hate the way the light made the back ground over exposed but here I love it and was really chuffed with the shot!

For some of the other shots I took of an artist I got talking to and 4 friends visiting Sheffield you can check them out on my flickr site: www.flickr.com/photos/katysnaps
