Your essay reminds me of the markets in Taiwan, where they also love their food. What caught my eye in this picture is, what appears to be, a small temple on the shelf behind her. This is also very common in Taiwan. A sometimes small and wonderful world we live in.

Be back later to finish my comment.

5/15 - back to finish commenting.

It's not easy pulling an essay like this together over a short period of time. When traveling abroad we often don't have enough time to fully absorb our surroundings. You did a nice job presenting what you observed. The last image seems a little out of place but does make a nice transition to "The Edge of Night".

Originally posted by posthumous: some photos are hunted, others are trapped. this looks like you set a trap. well set. the letters of the graffito resonate with the garbage cans.

Actually a little bit of both!

John, from your photography to your writing, you are an artist of economy. A peddler of less is more. This gives the curious observer room for interpretation and discovery. Your individual images give us plenty to chew on and in essay format it̢۪s pure visual gluttony.

Thanks for your contributions to this side challenge.

Each photograph on it's own is a story. Interesting how you've included different cultures and places from around the world. The variety of exposure/editing techniques is also a nice surprise. These variation prevent us from becoming to comfortable. Very nicely done! Thanks
