Process

Opening, asking, the line, the dust, the folder. A noon picture is not a bonus on a dawn booking.

Before open

Before open

We are in the aisles while the tarps are still on. Arriving at nine is a different job and we say so.

Asking
2

Asking

A person is in the picture only if they agreed that morning. Last month's permission does not cover today.

The line
3

The line

Night at the packing shed is booked as night. We do not drag a morning crew into it and call it the same day.

Dust
4

Dust

Summer dust stays on skin and on crates. The grade does not wash the south off the frame.

Next day

Next day

The cooperative gets a folder sorted by stall or by line. Our favourite frame is not a category.
