Just Move On

I'm a bit stuck for a title here, there's just a bit too much going on. I set my self the challenge of moving on to a different area of Copenhagen each week. This week was a mistake on two counts, first I chose this seedy area and second I wanted to try some "street" photography. The trouble is the area really doesn't look seedy enough (and nor are my photographic skills able to make it so). The second problem is that the sheer proliferation people who really don't want to be photographed makes it a bit difficult.


Today I got approached several times with various offers to which I kindly smiled and waved away. I then got a gentle, nearly incoherant suggestion that a camera was not safe here but I just replied in English and smiled. At one point a very drunk/drugged lady asked me for cash and when I responded in English (which I had hoped would confound her) she just switched language, damn - educated druggies. Finally, and don't panic here - nothing happened, a guy with a scarf wrapped up to cover his face came over to me and told me in no uncertain terms that photos were not to be taken. So this is the last in a short series .... well nearly. There's a slightly rude last look in my Blipfolio here and an effort from yesterday (there was a link) at seedy here.

Just for the record there are (at least) two drug dealers in this shot and they're not selling hash.
