"Tucked Away" Photo

Street photograph from a market in Petchaburi, Thailand, of an old woman crouched down on the pavement surrounded by the goods for sale in her hardware shop. She has her back to the camera and is busy cleaning some shrimp in a bowl. The visible goods in piles include coils of rope, coils of hosepipe, a dustpan and a crumpled plastic sheet. She is bare-footed and sitting on a pair of pink flip-flops.

This lady is often tucked away somewhere behind the goods of her family's street-side shop. She never looks comfortable but it's clearly her own choice as there are places available to sit other than the pavement and plenty of things to sit on other than her own flip-flops. On this day she was preparing shrimps down there.
