She said ‘I’ve got a camera like that.’ as she passed, and I grabbed a shot of her. (Cambridge Mill Road Winter Fair 2019).

I met her again by chance at the entrance to the Grand Arcade in Cambridge. She was part of the Extinction Rebellion die-in protest around the doors into the arcade.

I should have taken more photos to show the contrast between the shoppers and the protesters. This one was more chance than design. Still, I like the expression on the face of the Asian woman. And she is well dressed, as many Asian, specifically Japanese, women are.

Mill Road Winter Fair in Cambridge describes itself as a celebration of the area’s community, I went and saw food stalls, musicians, sketchers, photographers, troupes of dancers, a platoon of Roman soldiers, families, and thousands of people.

The road was blocked off and the crowds filled the street and the pavements.

Apparently it is always on the first Saturday in December, which this year fell today the first of December.
