At first i kept forgetting the questions i wanted to ask the people i approached, but then after getting into the swing of it i began to think of questions that suited each person i came into contact with.
The first shop I went into was Forbidden Planet:
He was a friendly guy, telling me it will be easy to get people to take pictures of them in the smaller shops because they are mainly students and would want to help!
When asking him the question - What do you like about working here? He said:
I like that i'm surrounded by what i like and that i get to meet alot of interesting people
The Army/TA shop:
Unfortunatly i forgot to ask this man a question! This was at the beginning to me asking questions and i was a bit nervous with having to further interact with the public.
Candy Shack:
Here i did remember and i asked him the question:
What do you like about working here?
He replied, well, its my own stall so i like being my own boss and getting to sell a lot of interesting things, and hey..there is always a nice snack at hand round here!
He was a cool guy to talk to and i learnt that he himself had created the art behind him.
Zeffa:
This lady had said that she had already had her picture taken today by another student, and so was happy to help me out.
She is the friend of the person who owns this stall in Afflecks, and when asking, why do you work here?
She replied: I like to work here because i get to see my friends and its a nice atmosphere.
Pagan Planet:
This lady was a very interesting character, she is a tarot reaader and a pagan, whose been reading tarots for over 30 years! When asked if i could take her picture she grabed her tarot reading hat and sat down ready for her picture.
When asked, what do you like about working here?
She replied: I like being able to use my talent to help people.
Vagabond Vintage Vinyl:
This lady was extremely cool, which was a bit intimidating at first! She was straightening her hair when i arrived and so I hung around till she had finished so i could talk to her a little.
When I asked her: What do you like about working here?
She replied: Well its my own shop so I don't have a boss and i can do what i want whenever i want!
By the end i really had enjoyed meeting new people and getting to know them a bit better. I was intrigued by the answers i got and thought they would make a great addition to the book to give the audience more of an incite into the people they are viewing.
