This weekend I went to the Porta Portese market. I've gone a few times before and was somewhat uncomfortable with the amount of people there but yesterday's visit marked a new high in attendance (most likely due to the warm weather.) The market sells a variety of goods ranging from clothing, to accessories, to household objects. There were also cart vendors selling an assortment of food, drinks, and snacks.
The photo I wish I had taken was of a little girl eating a panini from one of the carts. The ratio of food to her mouth was comical, and she looked so peaceful in juxtaposition with the crowded and chaotic market. I would have liked the girl to be in the center, with the food cart behind her a little blurred, and the surrounding areas of the cart to be very blurry. I think changing the depth of field would create movement and help to illustrate the peaceful nature of the little girl.
