[Photos] Strawberry Fair 2009

[karohemd]

was good. The weather held until I left 9:30ish because my feet were telling me they wanted to be put up and wouldn't support me much longer. I made it there just after 12, met up with puddingcat and wandered around a bit, running into raggedy_man, pinkapplejam and Taff who were flyering the fair for Bump 'n' Grindhouse next week (I took a bunch and distributed those, too). Then I picked up my press pass and stuck it to my hat. ;o) PC wanted to buy a bottle opener with a wooden dildo handle and I wanted to see bands so we parted ways and I moved between the stages all day. Except for Special Preserve (great blues) and The Neutrinos (both in the acoustic tent, the latter will get a separate post), music was nothing special this year and except for that world music group and again The Neutrinos not particularly interesting to photograph, either. Shame, really.
I also had my usual food selection (falafel for lunch, curry goat for dinner and a crepe for afters) but didn't buy anything else. So, here's them photos:

 
  
 





















































Still more on flickr (which will be expanded over the next week or so)

You capture moments so wonderfully :)

I wish I could've gone to something like that - it looks like everyone was having a great time!

Thank you! It's my favourite style of photography.

I didn't see anything bad going on, it's usually pretty quiet. The fact that it wasn't hot helped, too. Obviously, there are always some who drink too much but you get that anywhere with a lot of people in one place. Cambridge city centre on a Friday or Saturday night is a lot worse. I don't feel safe then so I avoid it when I can.
