These two women appear in lock-step as they cross the floor of their retail store on Union Street in San Francisco.

I was with a woman friend who wound up spending $1100 on three items here. She tried on a bunch of stuff. I was with a new Canon G1 camera - and bored silly. So, I was taking an occasional image. After a half-hour or so - one of these women walks over to inform me - "Sir, photography is not permitted in the store." For more than an hour, my friend and I were the only people in the store - aside from the two sales women...

Photographer's Notebook: those who viewed the companion image, "Shoes Upstream"
- 11 July 2008 - may recognize the table of fish on the left - their shadows swimming along the floor.
