Went to lunch at Captain Kidd’s Fish Market and Restaurant for my wife’s birthday. Decided to take my cameras and do some street photography and capture the energy on the Redondo Beach boardwalk.
Most of these were shot on the Canon M50 x EFM 22mm f/2 with a few film shots on the Canon EOS Kiss 7 x EF 28mm f/1.8.
It’s been a few years since we’ve been back here but my wife’s family used to come here all the time. Starting at Captain Kidds eating the freshest catch of seafood. From crabs, to lobster, salmon, and any other seafood you can think of at the fresh fish market to the restaurant side where you can order lobster rolls, fish & chips, sandwiches and soups for the kids.
Waiting for our food, I turned my attention away from the menu and toward the people behind it. The cooks on the fresh fish line filled the room with shouted orders between baskets of seafood that provided the atmosphere once you walk in.
After finishing up lunch in the restaurant, we took a walk down the boardwalk. This is where the energy continues from the live music from the bars, the locals hanging out, the tourists strolling around, and the vendors and the hustling and bustling.
Loved the way the sunlight peaked out through the overcast clouds providing that nice soft light through this section.
These kids were playing soccer in a section of the skatepark and some other kids were getting irritated that they were taking up their space:
“This is a skatepark, not a soccer field!”
It didn’t phase them..
It’s been a while since I went out on a photowalk so I had a lot of fun capturing these moments with all the different stories told in each scene. With being a dad to a 2 year old and my wife finishing up her doctorate program it’s been hard to get out and practice some street photography.
Until next time—stay creative.
