At a grocery store, a woman was busily working. A colorful array of vegetables, including eggplants, cabbages, and radishes, were lined up in a narrow space. As I passed by and looked at the vegetables, an elderly man walked up to me. After looking over the vegetables, he turned to the woman and began to place his order.

As soon as the woman heard my order, she grabbed the vegetables with quick hands and put them into a large plastic bag. Her movements were familiar and fluid. At the moment I pointed the camera at her, she was just about to grab a bunch of spinach and put it in the bag.

The bag quickly swelled as one vegetable after another was tossed into it, and before I could see it, it was full. Perhaps her hand holding the bag felt a little heavier, or perhaps her gesture seemed to change slightly. Still, her movements did not stop. Her deftness and the bright green of the vegetables were an eye-catching sight.
