Agriculture in China has always been a family business. This group of Naxi women and children have brought assorted home grown greens to the village, selling them to passersby in the street. This family gave me a chance to make a group portrait, not just a picture of people selling vegetables. A group portrait must define the bond that ties a group together as a group. In this case, the gestures are expressing things important to the group: love, protectiveness, confidence, and industriousness. All are human values that go into making a family work as a unit. Note how active the hands are around the perimeter of the image. The woman at left confidently displays her well-worn hands upon her knees. The younger woman at center wraps an arm around her child. The young boy standing next to them holds a toy in his hands and rests an arm on another woman’s shoulder. And that woman, in turn, strokes the head of the little girl who is arranging the produce in a basket.
