It rained for most of my time in Belfast this year and this prevented me from visiting some areas that I had planned to visit. My main interest was to photograph street art and graffiti rather than the world famous political murals but unfortunately little has changed since last year other than an increase in commercial [paid for] street art. When I ask people if they are aware of any interesting locations I am usually directed to the the murals. One thing that I have noticed in Belfast is that on asking for information one is directed to standard and approved tourist attractions. Sometimes when I was photographing something of interest to me a helpful person would suggest that I was missing something much better down the road or on the next street giving me the impression that they wanted me to move on. I do not know if it is a carry over from the ‘troubles’ but I get the impression that people of Belfast are not comfortable with street photography.
