Overview, Mercado 9 Octobre, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

I seldom photograph overviews. More often then not, they may describe, but do not define, the nature of a place. However, in this case, an overview works as an expression of an idea. A food market is place of great diversity. It holds an amazing array of natural products. In this case, the shapes as well as the colors of nature are on display from an overhead vantage point. Two people are working amidst the array of colors, which range from purple and deep red to orange, green, yellow and brown. There are even touches of blue, coming from the women’s clothing and some of the packaging.

Thanks, Rose, for noting the rhythmic flow of bananas through this image. I would usually stop at one of these markets and get a bunch of them for myself. They were always fresh and delicious.

I love the repeating shapes, especially the bananas.
