Market at the Búza Square 1, a photo from Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen, Est

Photographer's Note

As a slight detour from my Italian series, I present you a fresh series of mine taken at the Búza square. It's quite common in Hungary that the place, where the market located is called Búza (Wheat) Square.(E.g. both in Nyíregyháza, where I was born and in Miskolc, where I live now.)
Have you noticed that the most vulnerable ones are tend to dispense with protective gears, just like this old lady?

Hello Gyorgy,
This is a nice, fresh new photo. :-) The sharpness and focus are excellent, and the old woman seems to really be concentrating on what she's doing. I've also seen here that some older folks are not protecting themselves as much; this woman should definitely take more precautions working around many people in the market, but sometimes we just can't make grandma do what we want her to! Take good care!

Hello György,
Maybe she knows that most face masks available to ordinary people don't provide much protection, or she believes that garlic will save her from all evils. In any case she looks better when we can see her face. She is well portrayed in her daily environment in beautiful B&W tones.
Thank you for adding my latest photo to your favourites. I expected you to like the beer advertisement. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

hello Gyorgy, Nice scene from the market. Like in the market near my home. The elderly woman should wear the mask too, she is in the risk group.
Take care

Hello Gy,
I don't have quite the same experience where I live.
A number of very old people I met on the street or in the store, showed a rather more panicky reaction when you had to pass each other. This compared to younger people. Perhaps more in the early stages of the corona crisis than recently.
Perhaps wearing the mouth mask is different from keeping distance. I have not yet experienced that the elderly do not keep the necessary distance.
I certainly can't say that of those in our society who do not belong to a risk group.
All the best, Paul

Hi Gyorgy

You had to kneel down to be at the stall level to see her checking the vegetable she wanted to buy. The small DoF blurred the surroundings ans she seems sharper. I like her interrogative face.
Cheers
