One of my favorite places to shoot on trips are the markets. They offer soooo much variety and wonderful opportunities and when approached well, can allow for some wonderful photography. I always try to take a positive state of mind when walking through the markets and consistently smile and say Hi in the local language. A little abuse of my language skills, like saying Nee How in Chinese, sometimes is advantageous as I get some good reactions. I noticed this lady roasting chestnuts and was trying to communicate with her with what I learned on the trip...it was a failure for my ability to communicate, but the end result was this hardy laugh and smile. So...self abuse sometimes works!
