Nothing more fun than photographing people when you are at a fair. So that is what I did non-stop, and here are seven of those photos, all taken with the silent mirrorless Canon. I like the teenage girl's outfit, and her haircut. She brought with her the family dog and something to sell. The medieval man in the second photo did everything right. The woman to the left in the third shot caught my eye for some reason. I normally don't like photographing someone from behind, it feels like you are faking it, but it worked here with those cool braids. The Knights had a busy time at the market, when they weren't fighting each other they had to pose for photos with the visiting tourists. We all need to eat, even the well-fed photographer in the sixth photo. And lastly, the man that arranged it all. The Blacksmith Martin Ahlsén from Haninge. You might remember seeing a few other posts on this blog from his museum in Handen where he arranges markets a couple of times every year.

Excellent street photography. Your photos are always crisp and clear.
Great street shots again. I agree with Andy. Good work.
Great street photographs. I would have loved seeing this fair.
Wonderful captures, Stefan.
What a wonderful variety of fair goers you captured. Excellent shots!
You captured the flavour of the crowd so well.
An excellent series. And as for photo number 3, fish net stockings will do it every time.
Always fun to go out and photograph events like this one. True that Judith, and I remember you asking about my taste when it comes to Mexican food a while back, I will eat anything once. I don't make Mexican food myself, but if I am treated to it, I will give it a go.
