Tristan Hutchinson’s editorial series, Bird Market, follows one of Dublin’s oldest markets, the Dublin Bird Market. Dating back hundreds of years, generations still come to trade at this illegal market. Hutchinson joined aviculturists of the market for one year, documenting their meetings every Sunday on a street behind St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Participants hang cages from the walls, swap conversations, and sell birds to passing customers.
I always enjoy photo series about groups of men for whom birds are a hobby, like Chris Arnade‘s and Robert Ormerod‘s projects about pigeon keepers. I love the different view of masculinity expressed in these kinds of pictures.
