Farmer Resting On Wagon At Suceava Market | Limited Edition of 10
Horse-Drawn Wagon At Traditional Rural Market Gathering
I came across this scene at a rural market just outside Suceava, where the pace of life still seems tied to the sound of hooves and wooden wheels rather than to engines and pavement. The man seated on the wagon had just arrived with his horse and cart, surrounded by sacks of produce that looked as though they had been harvested that same morning. There was nothing arranged or staged here. Just people gathering, trading, and moving through their day in a way that felt unchanged for decades.
The wagon itself was worn smooth from use, the grain of the wood softened by years of weather and work. The harness lines cut across the frame, linking man and animal in a quiet partnership that was immediately apparent even before he looked up. Behind him, the subtle rise of the countryside framed the market with rolling hills and scattered homes, while nearby villagers moved between vehicles and stalls carrying bags of grain and produce.
I photographed this while travelling through Romania with my wife, stopping wherever something caught our attention along the roadside. This was one of those moments where everything aligned naturally without intervention. The afternoon light cut through the scene just enough to bring out the texture in his jacket and the muscle in the horse’s flank without overwhelming the quieter tones of the background activity.
There’s a calm dignity in the way he sits, one hand resting near the harness while the other holds the reins loosely as though this pause is only temporary. Around him, the sacks of goods, the wheels of the cart, and the uneven ground beneath the wagon all carry their own history of use and repetition. It’s the kind of scene that feels ordinary if you’re living it, but remarkable when you stop to really look.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
