Photographer:
Another sign of change in Russia is the disappearance of the abacus. Although one occasionally still sees elderly cashiers double-checking a new cash register with the ancient device, electronic cash registers, computers, microwave ovens along with pink elephants and green dinosaurs are sure signs that the free market has arrived. Although shortages and long lines are largely a thing of the past, Russians still take shopping seriously. My tripod and unusual fisheye lens were set up in the middle of a busy aisle, but not one shopper or salesperson seemed even to notice me photographing them.Bill Swersey
