Bridge Street Bazaar

I didn't take too many pictures at the Bridge Street Bazaar last Saturday. There was much light and shadow which cameras don't like too much, but I did take a few. plus it was crowded and a bit overwhelming.

Sue met a friend. In fact, she met several, but this is the only photo that I am posting.

This guy was preoccupied with his drums.

This was the first photo that I processed. He was under a red tent, and there was such a
colour shift that I decided to go black and white. As you can see from the rest of the photos,
I continued with the theme.

Living in the shadow cast by the American giant next door to us, I had certainly heard of the American Sniper although I have no interest in seeing the film. I didn't know we had a Canadian Sniper, but this display proved otherwise.

Jody Mitic lost both of his legs in Afghanistan but became something of a celebrity when he came close to winning Amazing Race Canada. Having never watched Amazing Race from anywhere, I was unfamiliar with Mr Mitic.

I have since discovered that he stood for municipal election in Ottawa last autumn and won his ward. He has written his memoirs to be soon published, apparently with the framed picture being the cover.
