At the Market

This lady was trying to sell me an awesome old Great China Wall medium format camera, but wouldn't come down on the price. I finally bought some handmade books instead and made friends with her. Ironically many in the market around China speak pretty good English because of the influx of tourists in recent years. I felt a special connection with this woman, she was desperate to sell something, and was very persistent with me, yet kind, and let me take her photograph.This image was shot with a Diana + camera and printed in the darkroom.
