This one I suppose you could say is slightly unusual...
The Smithfield Meat Market, London before it moved... far too early in the morning... meat enough here to feed half of London! I was taking photographs for a friend's thesis and just saw the opportunities of this... with an obliging butcher...
The art of persuasion!
Whilst I do not serve cooked Pigs or Boars head as a centerpiece for dinner it used to be a delicacy...
But on a more serious note we often forget how our food arrived ... I'm just glad I am not a butcher
Um, yeah, well.....
ReplyDeleteI don't fancy it, but you're right that it used to be considered quite a good thing.
I don't really like its expression...
Kudos to the butcher for allowing you free rein, and kudos to you for seeing the possibilities. These are riveting indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't something I'd eat, either, but aesthetically, it's an unforgettable thing to shoot. Your friend's lucky to have you behind the lens!
Thank you 'g' and Carmi.
