There was a car boot sale in Tungelsta on Sunday. Equipped with a cheap point and shoot camera, and no money to speak off, I walked over to the gravel pitch at the school for a look around. The place was filled with a mix of professional traders and locals trying to sell everything from books, vinyl records and DVDs to household appliances and clothing for the young and old. And much more. The soccer club were grilling hot dogs for the hungry. I had my eyes open for an old camera, but couldn't find one. I met a few familiar faces among the traders, including Karin who you can see in the collage. She's the young woman holding the baby in her arms. I have previously photographed her dad the architect. A while later I noticed a woman with a dog and I asked her for a photo. She turned out to be an artist. I also talked to an acquaintance who pointed to the clear blue sky as he was saying that at least the weather is nice, and as always happen when you do something stupid like that, it started to rain a few minutes later and a lot of people left. Luckily the rain stopped and the skies cleared up again so the haggling and bargaining was still going on when I headed for home.
