As soon as I entered the large market hall at Huay Xia, I saw the potential for a striking workplace image. A huge canvas awning was stretched from floor to ceiling across one side of the hall, open on all four sides, to cool the heat of the afternoon sun. It was made up entirely of cool blue and gray striping, and with the sunlight passing through it, it was beautifully translucent. All I needed to do was to look for people working directly in front of it. They would become silhouetted, backlit abstract figures, symbolizing the physical work that goes into maintaining such a market as this. I found my subject in this woman, who was busily packing food into a container. I photographed her just as she was completing her task and sealing the container in a plastic bag. Her body language was perfect. She seems to be saying “There! Almost done!”.
