lusting over ham

It's been a bit since I felt like shooting anything in the streets of madrid that wasn't a bit controlled. I guess I just don't try and be a "street photographer". But every once in a while I go out with my camera and find something worth shooting that's all in the moment.

lusting for ham

This is one of those moments. I see this all the time. People window shopping food. I mean if you walked by some place and saw like 30 cured hams, 70 sausages, and wheels upon wheels of cheese (give that you're not vegan) and it's lunch time you might be doing the same thing. Me, I was just loving the light and this woman just happened to be in the right place in the right time. This is one reason I also love my pentax screw mount lens. Small and inconspicuous, light and great bokeh (or background blur for you non photo nerds).

Yeah, I´ve always wanted to set up in the Corte Inglés embutido line. They seem likely to kill one another to get to that precious ham.
