Shopping at the floating market, Can Tho, Vietnam, 2008

Hundreds of vendors and buyers alike take to the waters of one of the Mekong's branches to buy and sell goods of all kinds, beginning at dawn. What makes this kind of market so unique is that everything floats and much of it is in motion. It is difficult to separate buyer from seller – sometimes they could one and the same. This woman appears to be shopping – her small boat seems well filled and she is definitely gong somewhere. When photographing such scenes, I look for a center of interest amidst the chaos. In this case, I found it in this woman.
