Busy weekend photographically. Phone boxes Saturday morning, then Elaine's Aurora choir in the Pavements in Chesterfield, then an afternoon going round the stalls on Chesterfield market. The society is working alongside Chesterfield Borough Council, photographing progress with the market redevelopment. My task last Saturday and yesterday was to go round as many of the market stalls as I could in the time, talking to the traders and taking pictures if they'd let me.

I suppose I talked to a dozen traders in the outside market yesterday. Every one of them was friendly, helpful and cooperative, and no-one declined to have their picture taken. The message I was getting, though, was one of uncertainty. They weren't sure what was happening. I got rumours varying from "it's all been cancelled" to "they're starting in January" and everything in between. With these sorts of projects, communication is everything, in both directions.

The society is thinking of trying to get a board up somewhere in the indoor section of the market, so that we can put some photos up. A number of traders asked what was happening to the photos we are taking, and this is one idea. We'll see. I might also just print some A5 ones off at Jessops and hand them out. That would be fun.

Finally, here's another phone box: this one's near Belper.
