Market-Goer
: Mark Thompson

It was a wintry day, though not quite as wintry as it looks in the photographs. I shot photographs for a week (here an in Marin County, California) without realizing the camera was set for flourescent lighting. Hence, the gloomy blue tone. 

For naturally lit photographs from this market, you can check out previously posted reports from the months of December, November, October, September, August and May.
