The floating market near Can Tho brings hundreds of water-borne shoppers and vendors together in the Mekong River. It is a chaotic scene, enriched greatly by the tensions that flow within the streaming interaction. This image is another example of how to create tension by seizing a moment in time that expresses an uncompleted action as well as heightened sense of anticipation. It is an image with many layers – starting with the three boats in the foreground. The oar of the boat in the center of the picture just grazes the boat at far left, while the man holding that oar studies his position intensely. Meanwhile, the woman holding a paddle in the front of that same middle boat seems poised to avoid a collision with the boat at the right. Meanwhile, the woman in the right hand boat seems ready to lunge for an opportunity that lies just outside of the right hand edge of the image. This string of tension-laden relationships is backed by a second and third layer of boats and people that offer context defining the immensity of this market, one of the largest in Asia.
