Here in Michigan, we have a winter climate as well. The spring/sumer/fall
would offer many more opportunities to show a "working" marketplace. I have
been thinking that I will go to one of our local boatyards and shoot a
"sleeping" marketplace of the sailboat winter storage area. This will become
more of an active marketplace in the the spring as boats are readied for the
launch and prepared for sale. This time of year it is a lonely, cold, windy
site. Maybe I will take a first time stab at recording the clang of loosened
cables against the metal spars. I think this could be interesting, hope the
weather cooperates.
Warm Regards,

Landis,
Just an example in support of other replies. "Marketplace" is definitely a
good theme. But. Here in Canada in area where I live the most sceneic and
most interesting for me subjects are flee markets and yard sales. It's not
just a sale, it's a show, it's pretty unique and every marketplace has it's
own spirit. You may see the people, their behavior, their characters etc.
But all these events begin in May but not in March - it's still winter here
in Canada, eh? :-) And lots of, say, antique stores open in late spring
also. Well, I can show a pano of a big superstore in downtown but are these
places unique? Are these people unique? You in California have the same
Wall-Mart and the same Home Depot. Would it be interesting for you to see
this again? I will definitely try to find out something what might be
interesting to see but I am very limited now in my search. My humble opinion
is to try avoiding such a narrow and seasonal themes in the future. This
will probably let more of us to show their best.
