Shopping is another major tourist activity that provides fertile ground for photographic expression. While resting in the lobby of my hotel, I watched tourists returning home with their booty, and photographed this trio as they emerged from their van and entered the lobby. The back lighting abstracts their identity, and stresses their activity instead. The four red bags are stuffed with the pleasures of travel and magically become eight when viewed in reflection. I also like the incongruity in the body language of the woman, who helps the multi-tasking man manage the largest bag, while he holds a cell phone to his ear. The doorman turns away from the scene. He has seen all of this before and will see it again.
