Vox Pop

As part of an assignment for my digital class in college, we were asked to go to a city center location to produce a vox pop. A vox pop involves going to a busy location with a topical, open-ended question in mind, stopping random people on the street, taking their picture and asking them this question. I think this was probably the most nervous photography related thing I have ever done.

The location was Grafton Street and my question was: ''How do you feel about the Chirstmas lights and decorations being up on the streets and in shops already?''

Luckily, people were nice when I finally built up the courage to go and do it. The images and answers to the question are as follows:

"I think it’s nice but some places go too extreme too early"

 "I think Christmas should be celebrated as long as possible"

"Too early. Christmas traditionally began on the 8th of December always and that’s the way it should be still"

 "It’s too early. This makes Chirstmas really long"

"It’s far too early. Halloween just ended, far too soon"
