Emory U. Farmers Market
August 26, 2014
The market at Emory University
was bustling. Vendors were setting up their stalls. Students were walking
nearby…some lost on the first day of classes. Freshmen were timidly walking
through, tempting their nose with the smells of freshly popped kettle
corn. Luckily, we secured a position next to the most popular booth at
the market for our Pop Up Show. I learned that this neighbor sold the
best quiche, pies, cookies and cakes, with flavors as wild as hibiscus pound cake.
He said, “You don’t like ginger until you’ve tried my ginger cookie.”
People were lined up to see him, saying they hoped he would be at the market;
and they first noticed the Lexicon images while they were standing in that
line. I saw a variety of faces, ages, bikers, dog walkers and the occasional
faculty member stopping in for lunch at the Farmers Market. They all
seemed amazed at the Lexicon of Sustainability Show, some pointed out places on
images where they had visited or people that they know. It was especially
satisfying to me to hear their personal comments when they related so well to
the information and the photographs. It was quite the destination.
