A trip to the flea market, where one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. This reminds me of the weekend flea markets around here. As is, refurbished and repurposed items for sale. Time almost stops while observing folks flip through old records or study a table covered in dishes. With your essay you’ve shown the flea markets is as much about people as merchandize. In developed countries we just don’t shop this way anymore. We purchase online and have it delivered to our front door. When something isn’t useful it’s discarded, traded in, or recycled.

Technically your photographs are very good. The only change I’d make is to trim your essay to 16 images or less. What to keep and discard is always a difficult decision. Removing one image can change the entire story. When each image becomes this important you are getting close. I received this same critique a while back and found it very helpful. Thanks for sharing this collection with us.

you should have stolen that backpack just so you could get the perfect picture. I love the tracks at their feet.
