I have to confess that market runs is one chore I'd glady avoid if given the chance. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will wish for this. Visiting the market can be overwhelming and stressful, arrghh! Sadly, I might not get that chance, not when I have my aged parents to shop for. So you see, I'm stuck with visiting the market, whether I like it or not. 😂

However, I've learned to make the most of my visit to the market. With my phone in hand, I try to capture my market runs on the go, including interesting scenes and moments as they unfold. You know, the market offers endless opportunities for photography.

Incorporating photography into my market runs helps me find beauty in the chaos and makes the experience more enjoyable. Even in my haste to get in and out, I still take a moment to snap a few photos, turning a chore into a mini-adventure. Lol.
If you're not one to take pictures while doing market runs, I'd encourage you to try it out. You'd be amazed at how much beauty and character that could be found in the most mundane of places like the market. But hey, you better be cautious about it, you don't want to get poked at or draw unnecessary attention to yourself. 😂
So, here are some of the photos I took during my market runs at Ahịa Ọhụrụ (New Market) not quite long.
