The Fish Market of Vila do Conde (Portugal)

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

This Fish Market is very simple. Still, I decided to post this for the #MarketFriday initiative started by @dswigle.

Nothing fancy about it. A few stands with fish... and that's it. So, why have these ladies complained when I took these photos?

"Can't photograph here!" - She shouted!

I smiled without speaking. She though I was a foreigner and I played along to avoid any argument. 😝

And then I took another photo:

This lady started shouting "Forbidden, forbidden..."

I didn't want to push my luck any further and went back outside.

The Market is called Mercado das Caxinas (Market Caxinas). Here's the front of the place:

I guess some people just don't want their photos taken. To contrast with the ladies, the guy on the phone wasn't camera shy, at all.

Still on his phone, unaware I was taking photos.

And now he sees me:

Notice how his behaviour changed...

Is he... posing? 😅 😅 😅

Wait, they're both posing for the camera!!! What a scene!!!

Ok, guys... thanks for the poses. That was... eh... unexpected.

Here's an animated gif, just for fun:

You've probably saw the Graffiti on the wall. Yep, of course I have it. It's a good one! Check it out on my next post Graffiti Works at Mercado das Caxinas, Vila do Conde (Portugal)

Sort:  

but for me this place is perfect ...
very interesting posts

Thanks for stopping by.

lol. it seems you've enjoyed yourself in this expedition of yours.
😂 you should have asked for their autograph.


@trincowski... the graffiti hunter. <<📷

Ahahah! Yes, I liked it.

I've just posted a few shots of the Graffiti works in this place. Have you seen them?

Haha, I am not sure they are really posing for you. I think they want to say "forbidden, forbidden". 😊

Ahahah! 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for snapping those photos in the fish market. Very interesting. I wonder why they didn't want you to do that?

I don't know. There's no confidential information over there, that's for sure. Also, these ladies love to be photographed when the politicians visit the market during the election campaign...

hahaha - you just have to carry a campaign flyer around with you 😄

And wear a suit and tie? 😂
Thanks for your visit.

I'm always very aware of people when I'm taking photographs @trincowski.

They don't seem to like it here as a general rule. And to be fair neither do I. That's why I wussed out yesterday when taking the pictures of the market stalls. 😁

i'm not sure what trade secrets there are in a fish market that makes it forbidden though. 😂

We're all different. Some people pose... Others hide. These ladies decided to shout at me. Ehehe.

Thanks for your comment.

Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor.

Ok then. Human. Tell me what do you do for a living?

They didn't want you to photograph? Hmmm. Usually, I ask the vendors and they let me take pictures without a problem... however, I have had them tell me no too.

Glad you were able to snap a few shots! :)

They will all be in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you!

Upped and Steemed

Yeah, for some reason those ladies didn't want to appear on the photos.
Alright, thanks for the suggestion.
