It has been said that the best way to get to know a country’s people and culture in to visit the local central markets. In my travels, when visiting a new city or town I make it a point to visit the central market in the earlier morning hours to hopefully catch it at its busiest. I enjoy taking in the unique sights, sounds and smells of a new destination and/or culture, watching the interactions between the local vendors and customers, and recording in photos and video clips the images and sounds that seem to best capture the essence and the mood of the location as I experience it. The following photos were taken in Mandalay and Sagaing, Burma in November 2006. Enjoy!
