Edinburgh Shops and Cars |
|
Photos of Shops 1990s I began photographing shop fronts around Edinburgh in the 1990s. Sometimes the road was clear in front of the shops, but often there was a car parked 'in the way'. Then I noticed: - Sometimes I felt that the car added to the character of the photo. 491 Lawnmarket Royal Mile, Old Town, Edinburgh

Citroen 2CVs I particularly liked the Citroen 2CV, as they were not too large and were often painted in attractive two-tone shades. I started photographing 2CVs parked in front of shops, then went on to take more photos of 2CVs parked around Edinburgh, but without the shops! |
