Winter at the Market
January starts off well. Sales the first week usually match or even exceed the week between Christmas and New Years. But January cannot sustain itself. No. But then neither can January keep it’s gray cloud cover overhead for the whole month either. Typically sometime during the month we Seattle-ites enjoy gorgeous blue skies although paying for that happy sunshine with very cold temperatures.
As a photographer who makes much of his bread and butter from city skyline sales, January is usually a welcome month. At least from a photographic perspective. Not so much from the Vespa scooter rider point of view. Fortunately I own a car along with my three scooters. Even more fortunate that my car has an efficient heater. Now, if I could only convince the PDA (Pike Place Development Authority) to heat our open-air market space.
