Fish market

Among markets, my favorites are those selling fish. The variety of the creatures they offer, the smell, the different people working there and buying, are fascinating photo objects. The world’s biggest is the fish market in a suburb of Tokyo. This is a market in a modern, developed country, and yet it is full of sensations.

African Market
