Markets move fast and the light changes from stall to stall, so I keep my bag small and my settings simple. This is what came along every Saturday for the Market Day series.
Two cameras, no zoom
A 35 mm rangefinder with a 35 mm lens for the crowds, set to f/8 so I can focus by distance and never look down. An instant camera for the stallholders, who each get a print to pin next to their prices.
Film and the rest
Five rolls of ISO 400, one pack of instant film, a cloth bag for whatever I end up buying, and coins. Paying for peaches is the easiest way to ask if I can take a photo.
