The young vendor is overwhelmed by the intensity of color that surrounds him and engulfs his shop. I caught him as he was about to leave his little shop on the sidewalks alongside Chau Doc’s sprawling city marketplace. The colors of his shirt and hat help merge him into the colors of the shop itself. With an array of flowers on his left and bundle of colorful packed items on his right, he seems almost incidental. And that is exactly what I was trying to say. In some cases, the man makes the sale. In this case, the product seems to sell itself. The man becomes somewhat incidental. And that is the contribution of the color here. In black and white, everything becomes both equal and confused. In color, the flowers definitely rule.
