Hard times at the Casino.

So, i went on a trip to the Casino, where the big betting takes place. And even though i have been to the Casino at 4am a few times, going at 9pm on a friday was completely different. The people were so much more aware, especially around the tables, people were sober and completely on edge. I found it really difficult to take secret pictures because of this. I got five half decent pictures, but not as many as i'd hoped. Even though i won't be using these as final images it was still important for me do this, to show the reality of the gambling world, just as i did with the bookies. The images all seem to be very calm, but in reality there was a tense atmosphere, i found it almost threatening. I would like to go back to the casino, but i feel it's too risky to go back and photograph. But i love the fact that i put myself under pressure for these images, it wasn't easy and even though it was scary, i loved the risk factor involved.

 After going to the Casino i saw an advert in the television for "Foxy Bingo", i began to think about the idea of online gambling. But this idea will be continued in my next blog.
