This woman is selling potatoes at Cuenca’s largest wholesale market. I liked the glowing blue tarp that defines her working space, the straw fedora, and the heavy scarf at the neck. She was saying something to me as I photographed her – I think she must have been asking me to buy some potatoes or to take my camera elsewhere. I made this shot and moved on, delighted to capture the gruff, no-nonsense approach to business indelibly defined here.
