Sunday morning at the wholesale market

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.

Got watermelon?

Shopping for fish

 Fishmongers and the largest (live) fish on stock, which went flying and landed on my feet (imagine how I smelled!)

Mr. Cool Pyjamas stopped his scooter in front of me in the middle of chaotic traffic and asked for a photo
