Dawn at the market and night at the shed are different bookings. The grade does not turn one into the other.
A market morning in Cahul is walked, not staged. If a seller is still unloading, we wait or we come back down the row. We do not rearrange produce to make a neater pile.
This is the morning work. Stall, scale, hands, the crate that is not pretty. We are gone before the crowd makes the aisle a different place.

We have filmed lines that ran short and lines that ran long. Both stay honest. A cooperative that only wants the full belt is told before we drive out.
Cameras stay at the height of the people working. No crane over the tomatoes. Sound is the belt and the talk.

Nadejda grades the night the next afternoon, when she can see the tubes for what they were. She does not warm them into daylight.
Two places, two colours. Skin keeps the dust. Cardboard keeps its stain.

If the depot wants prints for the wall, those are sized for that wall in the same folder. We do not send a master and hope.
Names of stalls or of the line, then the frames. A portrait is filed with the person, not under a mood.

This comes up when a brochure wants next year's shed. We photograph this year's, or we decline.
Forstate photographs places that run. A missing machine is a missing machine. We will not render a cleaner line.

The dispatch room has a television that loops four portraits. The type is large enough to read from the door.
No opener. The name, the shift, maybe the date. Someone at the desk can change the date later.

A client who arrives with a list of 'types' is walked through the real row. The list rarely survives the first aisle.
Tatiana walks the row first. If a stall wants no camera, we pass it. The picture is whoever stayed.

The kit fits in the car with the depot run. If a job needs a generator, it is not one of ours.
A white board in the aisle if a face falls into the tarp's shadow. At night, a board so the tubes do not turn skin green.
