Seen through leaves and branches in the foreground, a soft green fringe around the picture, a 14mm ultra-wide lens captures the whole space in one frame with the verticals leaning in. A bulk case of artisanal hot sauce bottles sits stacked haphazardly in a wooden crate, partially wrapped in brown paper and secured with twine, resting on a wet concrete floor at a wholesale produce market. A chalkboard sign behind the crate displays faded price writing, and a single bottle tilts, leaking red sauce onto the paper wrapping. A wooden crate stamp is partially visible on the side of the box. Strings of small warm bulbs overhead cast many tiny points of light and soft pools below, while the main figure fills the frame edge to edge, crowding out the background. Shot on a full-frame digital camera with a wide-angle lens, the image exhibits slight barrel distortion, high dynamic range, and sharp focus on the central crate.
