The ones in Bridlington used to display their pictures in the window of a shop near the harbour - I remember craning my infant head to see if I could spot myself.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-89855905938356142452017-01-10T15:52:48.789+00:002017-01-10T15:52:48.789+00:00Thank you all for sharing your memories of seaside...Thank you all for sharing your memories of seaside photographers, though, Mike, I was sorry to read of your experience in London. Yes, I was a well dressed little girl, thanks to my mother who was apprenticed to a tailor from the age of 14.

Nor even now, later in life. Perhaps I just didn't vacation where they were. I did however have a similar coat with the velvet collar and pockets.

There are some similar photographs in my mother's and mother-in-law's collections, but I hadn't really thought about who would have taken them before. I guess at the seaside people were relaxed and happy to have a souvenir photograph and if out shopping there were probably dressed in their best so they looked good there too.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-55324903844389189552017-01-08T05:37:04.768+00:002017-01-08T05:37:04.768+00:00Hi Sue - I enjoyed the photos and the explanation ...Hi Sue - I enjoyed the photos and the explanation of street photographers. I have a couple in my collection from my mother-in-law but was never quite sure how they worked. I quoted your post in mine http://ayfamilyhistory.blogspot.com.au/2017/01/sepia-saturday-street-photography.html I found a lot of news articles about street photographers and wether or not they were allowed to ply their trade. I guess they were bit pushy as you described and once regarded as a bit of a nuisance but lots of people liked the results :) I think the photos of your family are great.Anne Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970750528434435027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-60358025080010305172017-01-08T03:42:22.069+00:002017-01-08T03:42:22.069+00:00Though I know now that street photographers were o...Though I know now that street photographers were once common in the US, I had never encountered one until I first visited Britain in 1982. I met one outside Buckingham Palace and at first I thought he was just a friendly Londoner offering to take my picture. So I was surprised when he asked for 10 quid. Thinking myself clever, I "negotiated" for 5. I'm still waiting for the photo.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-86573863007360190652017-01-08T02:04:53.367+00:002017-01-08T02:04:53.367+00:00You looked so cute in your smart little coat and c...You looked so cute in your smart little coat and carrying your very own purse!

I wonder if they exist/existed here in the States. At resorts in the Caribbean, there is always a photographer around taking pictures setting you up for the big sales pitch later in the week! I rather like the informality and spontaneity of your walkies.
