This lady works at a market stall selling sweets and such. If I was surrounded by as many sweets and goodies as she is all day I'd probably be that happy too (and about 100 pounds heavier!). There are a few flaws to this one that I am aware of, but I put it up here just to add to the catalogue of daily life that I am working on more. Thanks for looking, TW

Hi Tim - Just browsing your gallery again. I too am trying to work on my daily life shots. (I've always been more interested in nature than people though.) With regards to your note - When I was young I worked for a chocolate company in the states, it was a little bit like Thorntons... and I was literally eating pounds of chocolate all the time and yes I was always pretty happy (but totally crashed out by the evening as my sugar levels dropped) I found that I lost weight instead of gained. When you end up only eating sweets and nothing else, you get full pretty fast and aren't hungry for anything else (cause you feel mightily stuffed and equally as sick) Imagine that christmas evening/boxing day stuffed feeling... everyday. ;-)
I think this shot would be a bit better if all of the sweets were in focus and maybe if her hand wasn't cut off? It's all personal preference at the end of the day though.
