Flowers for Cash Only

Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA; June 2, 2012

A woman in a black cap and blue gloves leans over a crowded flower stall, arranging white-wrapped bouquets of tulips, irises, peonies and lilies in saturated reds, purples, pinks and yellows, with handwritten price signs and a “CASH ONLY” sign hanging overhead. A female assistant looks on in the background.
I arrived early in the day at Pike Place Market and was able to watch the place come to life. Here, a flower stand worker prepares inventory ahead of a customer rush at Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington as another worker watches. — J. Matthew Buchanan
