Weston - The Sites And More Sites

While walking up Weston, you can see some interesting characters.  Now, it isn't as much fun as travelling downtown or in crowded areas for Street Photography, with wide sweeping sidewalks, or with throngs of people walking and milling about, it's more personal.  Every now and then you can catch someone, just minding their own business, yet completely unaware of what is going on around them.  Like the person below;

She was waiting for the bus, and enjoying her cigarette, which seems a rather oxymoron, considering how harmful those are to your health.
She was completely unaware of the camera being turned on her as she stood in the sun, albeit cold sun, waiting for her ride to wherever she was off to.

Yet this is just one of many images from wandering the streets of Weston.
It's also nice to see that there are other stores that are using cameras as a method of attracting attention and potential buyers, such as this little pawn-shop just a few minutes walk from my work who is using a Polaroid camera as a gimmick to entice would-be buyers in;

This isn't the first store I have seen doing this, and to be honest, this sort of thing does catch the eye.  A nice vintage camera does have some appeal to it, even if it is just a plastic old Polaroid.

There is art everywhere you look, all you have to do is frame it.  The funny thing is, that is true with paintings, sketches, drawings, etc.  Although Art is subjective, you can still find it everywhere you look. 
Even something that someone did to be funny can be considered a bit of art work.  And considering that ART is something that is used to express yourself, they were expressing their humorous side.

A glove shoved onto the top of a pole, looked over by thousands of eyes every day, yet it just takes one eye to catch it and realize that someone was making a statement by putting it there. Regardless of whether they thought they were being destructive, or humorous, it is some form of statement. Until next time! Cheer
