Crickets for sale Photo

Photographer’s Note

In october 2003 I went to this market in Shanghai. It sells all sorts of animals, but the most interesting thing for me was the cricket "market". They sell everything for this chinese "hobby" : the animals (crickets), food, toys, cases (nice ones, sometimes), fighting arenas (yes, that's it, next picture I upload I will try to show this), etc. This lady is selling crickets, but we don't see them, just the colorful tins. She was eating while there, but I was shy to get her face(I had just arrived to China).
Later on I will post the cricket fighting.

Interesting picture, even though you can't see the crickets themselves, it's still good. This is a good photo, but at the time you took it, I think it would have been better to wait for the two pairs of feet on the right to move out of the way... they are not really part of the photo.
