August 9, 2004 Better Living Through Chemistry
This is a snapshot of a display window at a Chinese pharmacy (or
"chemists," as they say in London) in the heart of Chinatown in New
York. Limited retail space and maximized efficiencies, as well as a
distinct sense of Confucian-like order, puts most of the medicinal stock
of this store in full view of customers and passersby, advertising the
variety and multitude of products available. Note the Japanese "lucky"
cat statuette tucked between items in the lower left of the window.
On the right, a potential customer edges into frame while studying a
product's details.
