West Side Market

The weather has been so lousy, especially on the weekends, in Northeast Ohio. It's April already! The only thing to do is head to the West Side Market. It is the granddaddy of all food markets in the area and a photographer's paradise. Plenty of colors, interesting people and products. There were at least five other shooters there with nothing but images on their minds. I bought apple struedel.

I used a short depth of field in order to blur the people in the foreground but sharpen the rest of the market including the ceiling.


Here's a view of the market ceiling.


The vendors and their booths have character too.


This place is always packed with people.


The vendors take great care in how they display their wares.


Not even a pineapple can be out of order.


Watermelons cut and wrapped.


Apples neatly stacked.


Red peppers.
