Not Today, Photographer

Some vendors at Chorsu Market love the camera, but others do not. I tried to convince this cauliflower seller, but his message was clear. Sometimes, you must respect the "no" and move on.

Chorsu Market is one of the oldest and busiest in Central Asia. It's a maze of fresh produce, spices, meats, fabrics, and everyday street life, all under its iconic blue dome. Locals come here daily, and for a photographer, it's a goldmine of character, color, and honest human moments — even when the moment means not taking the shot.
