Whenever we base a photo on human values, we are likely to create an interpretive image. I photographed this butcher at rest behind her stacks of red meat. (The red in her hat and in the meat seems to go together, and when we add the yellow bag and her blue sweater to the mix, we build this image around the three primary colors.) Meanwhile, she waits patiently for a customer – the market is quiet on this morning. Her body language and her expression convey a patient attitude. Patience is a human value – it is something we all wish we had more of at times. By photographing this patient butcher, I interpret an aspect of her job for my viewers. She seems highly experienced, as well. Her product is perishable -- if she fails to sell it within a certain amount of time, it will spoil. She or her employer would have to throw it out and lose money. Yet she reveals no sense of urgency here. She knows her business well, and seems to have the confidence to maintain her composure in the face of any anxiety.
