Laos was once part of French Indochina. These baguettes are a legacy of those long-gone days. They sit in a case, along with all the sandwich fixings, in the same street side counter we saw in the previous image. Only now instead of shooting from inside the restaurant, I am out on the street. I waited until an employee began to make a sandwich for a customer, and photographed her as if she, too, was inside the case. I’ve abstracted her down to just a face and an elbow, and framed her face in the baguettes. The previous image was made from the viewpoint of the server. This photo is made from the view of the customer. Whenever photographing people working with other people, you can usually switch perspectives to tell a different story
