‘Let Them Eat Fish’ – Brixham

'Let Them Eat Fish' - Banksy - Brixham, Devon

 

Banksy’s been to Brixham again!

 

Every so often pro photographers have the unthankful task of cleaning the very expensive digital sensor in their cameras. This is a delicate and sometimes ‘fatal’ operation if you are not very, very careful. The alternative is to leave it to the experts and try to ignore the £50 it costs to have done. The alternative (a new sensor) can run to thousands so it’s well worth it). One such expert is Tim Kendall at MifSuds in Brixham. Fortunately we love walking in and around Brixham and so we had a great excuse to spend 90 minutes walking around (at a healthy pace of course) whilst Tim did his stuff with the Brillo pads!

They have an amazing new fish market in the town which is mainly for the trade but along one side there is a small kiosk-type opening where David Walker and Sons sell fish direct to the public. That’s where we were delighted to see we’d had a visit again from Banksy with his ‘Let Them Eat Fish’. Let’s hope nobody tries to steal the wall like they’ve tried elsewhere!  The shot was taken using the 8 MegaPixel camera on the new iPhone 4s.

Here is the shot in context:
