ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Athens, Greece: Above, photos focused on the street vendors in the bustling center of the Greek capital. Shooting in Athens is such a refreshing experience -- the city is dirty, the old men are weathered, no one cares that you are pointing a camera at them, and the visuals are extreme... huge piles of grapes, dozens of extra-large donuts, and endless alleys of sellers with goods. Among the bustling crowds, it's easy to just blend into the street life and be a witness.
Related: an international collection of food vendors on this blog. More photos from Athens to come.

The second shot in this series is great! I think I'm turning into a broken record, but I really like the way you're slightly shifting the color tone to match the environment. Beautiful shots, and great everyday emotion.
Cool collection, especially the huge mass of grapes and the second one.
I like the little sample the grape vendor (?) is holding up; nice contrast to the huge mass of grapes. Looks like I'll headed to the farmer's market this Saturday... not for pictures, but to catch a little of the atmosphere you've portrayed.
I like the photo of the grapes. It's fun.
As homer simpson would say "DONUTS"!!! Great capture of your experience at the market. My second favorite picture would have to be the bottom image aside from of course, the donuts.
love the colours!
