This lady sells a fruit known as durian at the Ben Tre market. It apparently doesn't taste as bad as it smells. Some liken its odor to vomit, yet describe its taste as rich custard, flavored with almonds. The food writer Richard Sterling describes its odor as a blend of "pig shit, turpentine, and onions -- flavored by a gym sock." Durian is very popular in Southeast Asia, but it is banned from hotels, subways, airports and public transportation in many places. How does one make a photograph of a smell? We must find an expression that best defines it. This woman is obviously used to it – she seems almost ready to kiss its incongruously spiky surface. I leave a channel of black negative space between nose and fruit, creating anticipation and tension, and in the process, daring the viewer to smell it along with her.
