DEK Photography: Stiff Competition

dek (62)in #life • 7 years ago (edited)

The title of this photo could easily have been "The Chestnut Seller," but I suppose if we are to look for a contrast - this being one of the attributes of a good photo (be it a contrast of colors or stories), we should consider Subway's establishment in the background.

I took this photo several months back, when it was still cold. I like how the seller has hid behind her stand, full of hot chestnuts, looking for protection from the wind, and is in such a position to conserve as much warmth as possible. Her legs are also on a wooden pallet, which protects her from the cold ground, during her ten to twelve hour stay in the center of city, while she waits for clients.

It is, indeed. In fact most people in my country receive roughly 300 Euro per month and I would imagine she is not making much more, but has to stay in the cold.
