Dorothy grew up in South Jersey, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. She remembers her mother taking regular trips to Philly and visiting The Reading Terminal Market. We had a chance to go there on a recent visit. It was an absolute madhouse on a Sunday afternoon. The place is a huge market with shops selling virtual any and everything to eat – prepared foods or groceries – plus textiles, and numerous other goods.
I had my camera in hand and found a vast amount of subjects to photograph so that I could try to convey the feel and look of the market.
