Pike Place Market

These images were  taken at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, Wa. I love shooting flowers & produce. If you can get to the market early on a week day most of the vendors seem to welcome photographers. When it is busy, though, I was seen as a bit of a nuisance. While I was shooting a woman visiting her son in Bellevue asked me to take her photo. She was touring around the US from India. We talked for a while and eventually exchanged email addresses. Her name is Aruna. We have been infrequently communicating the past 2 years. The last email I received from her she said she was in Queens, NY looking for a job.
