EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Mike Segar, a dried fish takes center stage as it hangs in a local market in Gangneung, South Korea. The image captures the essence of the bustling fish market, where vendors proudly display their wares for all to see. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the dried fish's texture and form. Its desiccated state gives it an oddly creepy yet fascinating appearance, evoking curiosity about its journey from sea to market stall. The composition is masterfully executed, with the out-of-focus background creating depth of field and drawing our attention solely to the hanging fish. This creative use of focus adds an artistic touch to an otherwise mundane subject. This photograph also prompts contemplation about our relationship with nature and how we utilize its resources for trade and business purposes. It serves as a reminder that even in today's modern world, traditional practices like drying fish continue to thrive alongside more advanced methods. Despite the absence of people in this image, one can almost feel the hustle and bustle surrounding this solitary carcass suspended in mid-air. It symbolizes not only sustenance but also livelihoods dependent on these markets. Overall, Mike Segar's skillful capture invites viewers into a moment frozen in time – one that encapsulates both beauty and intrigue within South Korea's vibrant food industry.
