there area few "circuits" around our way where they whizz round and round most of the evening. it's a teenage thing. glad my road is not on the circuit though as that level of noise would drive me potty.

One goes past my house, and they use a pedestrian path to cut through the estate :mad:
 
I wrote a short review of Parissi:

parissi-cafe-bar-brixton-04.jpg


I quite liked it, but it's not going to be my new coffee/work fave - so the search goes on (RIP Kaff).

Parissi – a small and laid back cafe/bar at 76 Atlantic Rd, Brixton

May I suggest, after the third ocurrence, a well-aimed rock or perhaps the placing of a thick log on the path? I reckon that would get rid of the problem.
 
The code is guidance to privacy law, which binds us all.
There was nothing illegal about the photo I took. NOTHING. I can understand that this new-found interest in general photography law may appear as a handy and novel opportunity for the usual suspects to attack me, but it is off topic for a thread about Brixton. Please take all further discussion to the photography forum where there is already a busy thread on the topic.

There may be nothing illegal but that's not what is being questioned. I have no interest in its legality or otherwise.

I want to know what is the point in putting the photo on the public Brixton board? If you were making a valid point I'd have no issue. However given you choose not to answer why you posted it I assume you were just posting this playing people you don't know, and who I doubt knew they were going to end up on a public board, for lols.

This is nothing to do with attacking you or a discussion about photography which you are now using to hide behind and not answer questions.

I name that place in one (and a lovely place it is too).

I suggest you go to the photography forum and raise your new found pressing issues with the legality, validity and purpose of reportage/street photography there.

I don't care about the legality or otherwise. I haven't a new found interest in photography.

I have always had an interest in privacy however, so I'll try again: what point are you trying to make posting people asleep in a Brixton pub in the public Brixton forum? In this particular instance what is the purpose? If there is a point I'll happily acknowledge it.

Or were you just playing it for lulz? That's ok too, but I think you should admit it if that's was its only purpose.

I imagine that I'm driven by the same creative urge to document the things I see around me as these award winning street photographers. Please look at their work.

If you don't understand the medium, or the purpose of such photography, then I suggest you ask in the photography forum because I'm getting bored repeating myself here.

you do know pub is short for publick house? that all publick houses covered by cctv? i don't see what your problem is with this, i really don't. it's not like people have a realistick expectation of privacy in a publick house :rolleyes:
 
I would be annoyed if some random bloke took my photo in pub then posted it online with a slightly sneery comment about 'vibrancy'. I certainly wouldn't have given consent if asked. I think it's more a moral question than a legal one.
 
I think I'd find it annoying if a trio of pissed people fell asleep next to be in a bar...especially if I was working that night and had to try and rouse them. It's not really somewhere to kip is it?
My comment - that Spam Misery got so wrong (as he so often does in his quest to score cheap personal points) - pertained to the lack of vibrancy in the bar.

It's supposed to be a new, funky and happening cocktail bar with great DJs - and the punters are falling asleep!
 
no chicken, no chicken, it's Brixton; chicken shops all over the place!
Tried this new chip shop yesterday. Chips were nice, if a tad cold. Fish was quite tasty. My partner was mightily pissed off that they didn't sell chicken. He settled for the only chicken related item on the menu, a chicken & mushroom pie. However the pie tasted more of cheese than chicken. As my partner can't stand cheese, it went uneaten.
Partner wasn't impressed. But I was ok with it. Won't be going there too often. It's quite expensive. Just over £15 for fish, pie and two portions of chips.
:eek:
Had a very good large hot portion of chips from there recently. I'll be back.

It's exactly how I read it and how I think too.

Buy we're all entitled to an opinion.

I'll ignore the condescending tone

All public houses are not covered by cctv.

People have a realistic expectation of not being photographed pissed without their knowledge and the photo put on a public forum, don't you think? It's my realistic expectation at least.

Do you feel equally angry at the millions of similar images that have been taken by photographers and shared online for years on end, or is just my particular image that has compelled you to suddenly speak out on this topic with such passion?

Strange thing is that despite me posting up the same links twice - and personally imploring you to look at their work - you've still to comment or criticise the work of Martin Parr and Maciej Dakowicz, both of whom make a living taking and publishing photographs on a very similar topic. Why is that exactly?
