Do One Thing and Do It Well

These men do blueberries:
Fresh, in syrup, confiture, and in pound cake.

It's the first time I have seen them selling at the market. They stood silently and still behind the table without saying a word, looking at the people passing by directly, as if observing us. It was a big contrast to the hustle and bustle, the calls and sales pitches coming from all of the other vendors. The older man was leaning as he is in the picture, with his arms slightly spread out, as if to simply say: "this is our product". Something made me stop and ask about what they had to offer, since the unmarked bottles and jars looked interesting to me. They seemed like nice people. They answered my questions. The boy collected the money, and marked each sale on a piece of paper before completing the transaction. The cake certainly tasted good. Next week I think I will get some jam and a bottle of syrup.

With coffee on the quai.
