Would you buy fruit from this man? · 09:02 AM

I love markets, and things involving the human food chain.

How about meat, or fish?

Nice pic fractal, and to answer your question... NO!

Call me picky, but I prefer my shopkeepers not be half naked...

I'd wager that if it was a topless woman you'd be bellyin' up to the bar to squeeze her melons.

I would, he's probably got a better understanding of what he's selling than all 15 year old grocery store employees combined.

Nice documentary-style phot, why B/W though? Would colour with all the bright fruit not have been better?

To be honest you can't really see him from the waist down so he could be fully naked

Thanks for looking & the honest comments.

Are people more concerned that he is topless? Christ, even though i smoke myself, i'd be more concerned about buying food from a man huffing a smoke whilst selling his produce. Although, living in China for some time has made me -almost- oblivious of these things. Alot of the guys selling meat are usually puffing away too but the lighting conditions are usually terrible. I do have one example of this at an outdoor market though.

Kevin, Now that you mention it i did originally want to put forward two photos, (for advice), for this thread.. the colour and b&w versions. Despite raging colours i am very partial to b&w. I was a little irked that i could not get the colour image to look as i wanted it to with my limited PP skills. Anyway, this is what i did with the colour version.. any c&c more than welcome.
