One of the places I really wanted to visit in Barcelona was the Mercado de la Boqueria or Boqueria Market. We visited on a busy Saturday afternoon and there was plenty to see and to photograph.

The hardest part was being patient and waiting to get a clear shot. There was something for everyone there, including a bar where you could just sit and have a drink. Fresh fish, produce, chocolate, wine & liquor, you name it. A ‘target rich environment; I called it!

I loved trying to capture all the colors and patterns, and occasionally get a good action shot.

Target-rich indeed. Great stuff, especially the fish mug-shot.
Well, the first thing that came to mind was “Target rich indeed” – but I see I am just an echo of that remark.
With so many people around, did you blend in taking photos, or did people look at you wondering why the guy is taking photos of the dinner I am about to buy?
Well, I’m not sure I blend in anywhere! But for the most part no one paid much attention to me. I had no issues, and although I strive to be situationally aware didn’t really feel like I got in anyone’s way.

Yeah, he was sort of begging me to take his portrait! 😉

Something fishy about those first shots… as usual a nice collection of a vibrant subject.
Tom Dills
Thank you, John. I often think it’s a good thing we don’t know what some of these fish look like before we eat them!
