Sunday morning at the wholesale market

July 19, 2011  •  Leave a Comment

Thanks to my friend Chelsia, I visited Shanghai's food wholesale market on Sunday. The pace was chaotic, the colors and smells overwhelming, and the photo opportunities endless. I had a case of ADD trying to point my lens at everything at the same time. People were incredibly welcoming and friendly, gladly posing and letting me steal time from their hectic activities. This is a must-see for photographers, period.
