Photographer’s Note

Slow Food!

One of the first things I noticed in Latvia was taste.
Food tastes here :)

Last weekend there was a Latvia festival in Old Riga. Hand made products from Latvia were sold, on different places there were groups of people singing and dancing.
These two ladies (I think sisters) were selling Bacon.
This Bacon you use for "Pirags", another Latvian speciality.
We can also buy this on the market. Riga has three big markets, the most famous one is right in the center, just behind the railway.

It's difficult to make photos of people, and the lady on the left became nervous after I made my intentions clear, and made sure was was sitting straight in the chair. Her sister was quite the opposite, and continued with her activities. Lucky for me, both liked the idea :)

The lady in red made me think of the typical service you receive in the markets. Jerzy Bucki (bantonbuju) has captured and described this mood very well in this photo

PS2;
crop, small color corrections, resising, added the border and text, and finaly slight sharpening.
I tried the border again this time, it's not much of a difference in my opinion.
