Preparation, a photo from Jeollabukdo, South

Photographer's Note

Older woman prepare and sell food on the streets all over Korean cities and towns. Korea may be modern and developed and high tech in parts, but there are still traditional grimy backstreets that remind me of SE Asian cities, and give Korea sucha good balance of old and new.

Hi Justin

GIve me these types of traditional, "downmarket" streets over the glitzy ones any day. That's what struck me about Seoul, the absolute diversity and contradiction. A little like Naples of the Southern Hemisphere :) Excellent compo: the pedestrian crossing stripes, the B&W, all those bags of rice (?) and the two ladies going about their business make this a very successful photo.

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a New Year that brings health, happiness and prosperity.
