Many markets in Bolivia are essentially pedestrian-only streets lined with buildings. When the market opens, steel doors roll up to reveal the shops within, tables filled with items for sale are pulled out into the street, and other products are displayed on overhead racks. The sun can be merciless at ten thousand feet, so translucent tarps are hung as continuous awnings between the buildings. I noticed this shopkeeper sitting on a tiny bench in the street in front of her shop. I built my image around her as she turned her head and gazed towards a silhouetted shopper leading her child towards the street’s exit. The shopper wants to go one way, the child another. The interpretive power of this image is based on my use of perspective. By shooting this image from behind the shopkeeper, I allow my viewers to see the silhouetted shopper and her child as the shopkeeper must see her. I tell my story here by linking these dual subjects, caught in time within a glowing tunnel of light and color.
