Peeling Potatoes in Istanbul

by Noelle Benton

Under the harsh sodium glare of a late-night Istanbul street, a street vendor stands behind a steaming metal cart while a customer waits in the damp shadow. The foreground is dominated by the vendor's rough hands peeling a potato with a small knife, the motion blurred by the speed of work, while a stack of flatbread rests nearby. Behind the cart, the wet pavement reflects the neon signage of a nearby shop, anchoring the scene in the city's specific urban texture. One grape falls from a torn plastic bag onto the asphalt, rolling toward the edge of the frame as the vendor turns to serve another order.
