I have this strange (may be)\u00a0obsession with food markets. I find them to be perfect places to soak in the real local culture. Something is always happening\u00a0there: people, motorcars, carts, noises, sometimes animals, food trucks, beggars, weird stuff… plus you get to try all different kinds of food. Wherever I go I always take my camera to a local market. The more\u00a0remote\u00a0and exotic the place is the more exciting it is to explore its markets. Check my photos from Tarapoto, Peru<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>from 2014.<\/p>\n

This one is all about Japan. Whatever I show or say it’s never gonna be enough to describe how amazing this country is. Just like everything in Japan, the markets there are extremely organized and clean. If you believe that there’s a fish market that doesn’t stink like fish, there’s one right in the heart of Tokyo.<\/p>\n
