Description What happened to the times when people came to the market everyday?
Did they stop eating fruits and vegetables?
Did they find something to substitute them from their diets?
No they didn't...
Now everything comes in a plastic bag. Dehidrated fruits with chemicals as a conservator.
Maybe it tastes better that way.

I know it doesn't.

A tribute to those who believe in the natural way.

I like your point with this... but I'm happy to be a convenience food eater... I guess food just isn't a priority in my life...

What a strong message... and by coloring the fruit you emphasize your point even more. Great work, as usual!

asi es toribio..
desaparecen los chamanes,
se industrializan los sueรฑos,
la verdad es publicidad,
el futuro es un coche y una casa,
comidas en mcdonalds,
no imagines lo que no existe
o diran que estas loco.

Another thing to add to your extinction; the old system of counting (no more lbs).
Nice thought provoking stuff. Well done.

angelcurls [2003-05-19 08:19:11 +0000 UTC]

the selective colouring works well here to support the message and to lay the importance on the mangoes?! i dont know why, they look a lot like potatoes though, isnt it?

but hey, you captured a great real scenery here and the meaning behind it is worth a , because more people should go and buy natural products! only because there are still zillions of people who dont buy it, its much expensive here in germany and most of the time i'm not able to buy it. i'm a poor student though... but everytime i'm able to, i buy nature products and as a vegetarian its still much often i think, even if its the more expenxive way.

well done!

i think people end up going to supermarkets instead of markets nowadays, perhaps because it is air conditioned? I dont know. Even I don't go to markets as much (at home - at Uni i always went), but at least not all of us have taken to ordering our groceries online or just getting someone else to do it for us. I love grocery shopping

yummy mangoes... i had some last night. the composition of the shot is really good, but the mangoes look a bit pale once coloured. the colour is fine tho, works well with the image, but the sign sticking up out of the mangoes looks a bit out of place... because of the colour i think... i dunno!

i'm still wondering how these black&white plus colour shots are done...

Wonderful as always. These photographs of yours can be heartbreaking sometimes. I love the little bit of color you left in here, it adds to this piece a lot. The entire image is perfect, I especially like the way the building frames around it. I hope to see more in this series,
