Sign and seal with a chop : Pike Place Market : Seattle, WA
Skipping back to the U.S. for a moment, I took this photo of a vendor in Pike Place selling chops. Chops are a stamp the Chinese use to sign and seal documents. When my sister lived in Hong Kong, she had one made for each of us. Mine is at home right now in a box, but this guy and his wares reminded me of her gift.

Very nice composition. Plus I learned something. :)
Thanks, Debi.
Judging by the look on his face, it must be a slow day in the market!
I know, right? He didn't look all that thrilled to be there. I'm not sure what constitutes a slow day in the market. While I was there, it seemed busy, but I'm newbie. It was probably dull as death to the vendors...
I think I saw this guy at the SF Asian Art Museum a few of years ago!
