North Charleston Farmer's Market

We formed a photo club at work last week!  Yea for me!  I really am excited to have other "picture takers" to talk to and do photo shoots with!  Our first outing was to the Park Circle Farmer's Market in North Charleston. (Actually located on Montague Street in the old town area.)
It is a tiny market but the great music from these two guys gave it a very festive and inviting feel.  They pulled me right in!
 I believe there were three farms represented.  The one on the right, Joseph Fields Farm,  was really, really great about letting me take pictures there.  The one on the left, not so nice.  But let me tell you, the fresh produce that I purchased from Joseph Fields was great.  The corn was the best I have ever had!
I took some artsy-fartsy type of pictures too that I won't bore you with!
And  - it wasn't ALL fresh produce.  I sampled Dale's Lowcountry Cuisine and it was great!  I will pick some up next time I am there.  (Shame on me - I didn't have much $$$ with me.)
 And there were pretty things too.  A color to go with each outfit!  Have you noticed how bright and colorful women's clothes are this year?  Recently at work there were two young women standing next to each other - one with purple pants and a fushia top, the other with kelly green pants and a turquoise top!
I mentioned the vendor who didn't want us taking pictures??  Well, they got kind of nasty with us, plopped down this squash and tomato and said - "There, take your picture!"!!  So, I did....
And - this picture was just for fun!  Have a great day!

  1. Suzie, bring your camera tomorrow and join us. My photo group is doing a guided tour of the College of Charleston campus from 4-7pm. That "golden light" and maybe a great sunset. Meet at 66 George Street.

  2. LOL you are my kind of photographer! I bet you could print a coffee table book of pictures with black squares and rectangles over people's faces.

  3. A photo club sounds ideal. I've been told that it's the best way to learn. Farmer's Markets are terrific places for photos.

  4. Thanks for the comments...you melt my heart! Chuck, I didn't see your comment until Sunday morning but I bet you all had a great time. That is one of the things our new club has talked about but mostly we will be in and around where we work. So many have small children to get home to. This really was fun!
