A second, and really engaging visit to Market Drayton livestock auction. Being the second week in a row, I've now been seen or spoken to by a large percentage of their regular customers which is helping to spread the word about what I'm doing and why. The staff at Market Drayton have been wonderful and today they were asking me what I want to photograph, answering my questions about local farmers, goat farms, events and more, even coming up to me to let me know there's someone I should meet.
Today was very much about the people, with me asking to make formalised portraits of those I talked to or found visually interesting. These are such a stoic and friendly group of people who I am gaining a huge respect for through this project.
