Wet Markets

In Southeast Asia, markets lined with stalls selling fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish, and surrounded by food hawkers, are the heart of local communities. Every morning, the markets are crowded. You can hear women with shopping bags greeting one another with “what did you buy in the wet market today?” Vendors greet these regulars with warm smiles and daily wisdom.

 

I was lucky enough to live in Penang, Malaysia for three years and the wonderful Pulau Tikus market was my market.

 

My photographs are an homage to the food and markets of Southeast Asia.
