Extra Carnival – Kids’s Day: On Sunday thirtieth August 2009 I spent a couple of hours in Notting Hill and took numerous footage – listed here are just some of these I preferred. I can’t keep in mind why I didn’t get round to placing them on line in 2009, however I solely remembered them once more in 2014 when August financial institution vacation was so moist I stayed house and didn’t go to carnival.
I believed once more this yr about going to Notting Hill for Kids’s Day when it’s a little much less crowded than the Monday. However there was engineering work on the railway with no trains from my station for over per week, solely rail alternative buses.
It will nonetheless have been attainable to make the journey, or to take a bus after which the Underground, however having to take action on each the outward and homeward journey would add significantly to my journey occasions. I made a decision my journey to Notting Hill wasn’t important.
I’ve taken sufficient footage of Carnival over time since 1990 to fulfill me for my lifetime, and it’s laborious to search out something actually new.
Although I do remorse having been delay from going to Notting Hill earlier than 1990 by the media protection which targeting the few violent incidents and painted an image of road violence and mayhem. It’s actually extra of an enormous outbreak of celebration.
And I did {photograph} some kids, although its clear my thoughts was largely on different issues.
Many extra footage at Notting Hill – Kids’s Day.
