Narrative

Gold Mine

It was necessary to phone ahead as the shop is not always open. If some of these pictures seem strangely dark in the age of digital technology and Photoshop it is because I have not doctored them and because it really was dark. In fact, the shop is so large that the lights remain off until a customer enters a section. The appropriate light is then turned on, or the customer signals his despair with mild grunts or carefully placed coughs, and then the appropriate light is turned on.
