The British Boot Sale

entry description
This is an ongoing project documenting the British boot sale. I find interest in the boot sales as it seems to incorporate a wide variety of what would be called England. Here you have all the classes in all their glory trying to sell off old stuff to make a few quid. Amongst the make shift pasting table stalls you find an array of objects that would be deemed worthless but at some point they were of value and could well be again if bought for 50p. Alongside this you find the eclectic working class selling and roaming the stalls, sharing their collections or looking for bargains. I try to find the possessions and people that represent these places and bring them to light in photography.about the photographer
