Wellwood Street Bonfire

For the third day in a row I have returned to Sandy Row, this time I specifically set out to take a portrait of someone.  To this end I selected a 50mm lens; the previous two days I shot with a 35mm lens.  It is easier to frame using a wider angle lens, so with 50mm I had to frame shots more carefully.  I was lucky and came across this man sitting in the bonfire site, I introduced myself and had a long chat, he said he was Sandy Row 'born and bred'.  Colin agreed to be photographed and I made about a dozen exposures of which you can see two here, using the extra.

Incidentally the bonfire is not finished, Colin said another 50 foot has to be added!
