Layers, Istanbul, Turkey, 2009

These people were preparing a shipment on the street in front of their shop. I used a super wideangle 14mm focal length to stress the size of the package in the foreground layer, yet still include the emotional responses of the shopkeepers in the middle layer and their shop as context in the background layer. The marketplace is always a story waiting to be told. In this case, we wonder why the woman seems to be so dismayed as the man brings an energetic finish to the task at hand.

It is easy to disregard what goes on behind the scenes when we are wandering through exotic shopping areas. As I recall, this was the very street where every merchant seemed to be in a hurry to load stuff up and get it out of the way.

What I enjoy here is the information I get - as I wander through bazaars I forget that the items were manufactured somewhere else, were shipped, and then had to get to the stalls.
