The Three Market Ladies Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the Old City in Jerusalem, three ladies with leaves for sale pass the hours visiting and chatting, and just waiting.

I had to handhold a film camera in dim light for this, but I'm hoping the atmosphere outweighs the effects of that.

Excellent shot of these three friends passing the time. I like the way the white headscarf is repeated in all three, giving this a kind of pattern, making the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Well done!
