Buying Food Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is a shot of one of our local supermarkets in a small town called Nelspruit. One of my earlier postings was of an African Market in the outdoors. Sometimes I wish for a day where I could go to some of those really lovely markets that are totally outdoors, where the vendors are out selling their fresh, organic foods. These supermarkets are real production liners, and I sometimes wonder about the food we buy. Just an angle on everyday life.

display is a little different here in montreal, canada though, and so are the chariots (dont know the right word in english sorry) to carry food on the right... but original picture ;-)

It's not exceptionally interesting, except that we all certainly want to compare it to home! (Yes, it looks the same in Florida - haha) I tried to think of a technical critique to give you on this one, but I think the lighting is realistic, you caught shoppers in the act, an employee stocking the fruit, a table of pies, neon and spot lights above - all the elements of a shop are here, and as well put as could be, I think. I love the red raft in the background over one of the aisles - just like a typical food mart, always branching out to sell in other areas. Neat idea.
