a strange phenomenon
all tomato sellers sit together
not understanding the rules of competition
or the statistics of chance that their produce
might never be selected in a sea of tomato..
as do the curio sellers

About Me
- Dennis Bartlett
- Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
- The cameras: 1. Panasonic Lumix FZ8, 7MP, 12x optical 2. Samsung i9000 cellphone 5MP 3. Kodax Z915 10x optical, 10Mega pixel, small enough to drop in your pocket There are times when it is not prudent to be carrying a camera, and the cellphone is so convenient. The pictures: The images presented here just reflect life as it was at that moment. Some of the shots, especially with the Lumix aspire to photographic art, others are just the flash glimpse of a moment. As such, some are pixelated, some blurred - for this I make no apology. These are just what I saw when I saw it. The person: biker, bipolar, bizarre, believer.. with an eye for a good pic and a curiosity to boot! The pictures: A unique look at life. Things seen. Places been. Blog: Trambellings (link at bottom of page) Life: Born in Zimbabwe, traveled the world, awesome experiences humbling ones too. my passion in life is to take a camera and a motorbike wherever to capture those moments that pass most folk by. Enjoy the show! I surely do...

Dennis, explain to me why this is. Is it that they "don't understand," or that this style of capitalist sales is new, or perhaps that they've never been taught the concept of value-added food? (It seems to me that a single salesperson could advance way beyond the rest it they were to dry the tomatoes and either sell them bagged for easy storage or in small jars with oil for preservation...and flavored oil. Is it just that I've been exposed to more and different types of food and manners of preserving?) I mean, even the logic of placing oneself next to another vegetable cart where no tomatoes are to be had that happens to be closer to the market's entrance...or is it that they prefer the commeraderie of their fellow tomato-growers?
