Street markets, boot sales, period events—all are manna from heaven for the street photographer. And when people dress up in period gear they signal that they want to be photographed. Why else go to the trouble. There's also no need to be quite as discreet as usual, they love the camera. Even people in contemporary dress join in the fun and are happy to pose, as in the shot below. Lovely food, by the way.
When I was a young journalist working on The Motor Cycle magazine I was in awe of our freelance artist, Lawrie Watts. Lawrie, a "technical artist" worked for most of the stable of technical magazines specialising in transport, air travel, photography (Amateur Photographer) and farming. He had the knack of depicting the insides of a piece of technology, such as a motorcycle engine, in fabulous detail.
