On a quiet, tree-lined street in Shanghai's 19th Century French Concession, fruit vendors wait for customers on a long summer evening. In this image, mood and atmosphere carry the story forward. Light and color draw the eye to the stand, an oasis of nature incongruously sailing upon a sea of concrete. The man at left displays the perks of ownership – he sits in a comfortable chair, while the other vendor forgoes a stool, and uses a tree for support. The story line is set, framing the question “where are the customers?” Yet one gets the feeling that they may be just around the corner. The stand has a permanent storefront, indicating longevity and prosperity.
