Meal time, short and sweat Photo

Photographer’s Note

This picture was taken in Nanking Machi in Chinatown, Kobe.

I just thought it would be a good post for the Scavengers hunt.

This stall is very popular and it is a easy way of getting a quick bite to eat and it is very cheap iswell around 3 dollars for a satisfying meal.

The other funny thing was the queue or how they were standing inline, because the police would complain with the stall employees about the people standing in the way of the oncoming traffic of people coming in from the cross section of the path and it would bend slightly but after a little while it would straighten like it is now.

The employees would take orders from the front and back at the same time and if you were at the end of the line you would be given chopsticks to say you have paid for your meal when you got to the front of the line and you would just ask for what you wanted.

I hope you like it.

Nice daily life Daniel and good for the hunt, colorsful and sharp but I think it is tilt to the left a bit, well seen.

I'm getting hungry looking at this, Dan. Nice street scene, colorful and vivid, and I like the effect from the lights on the food stall. Good entry for the hunt, well done. If ever I should make it to Kobe I'll make sure to check this one out ;-)

A beautiful daily life image, Daniel, good note, the rest of people and discipline are here striking, colourful and good perspective.

Nice que shot Daniel, with plenty of animation in the people and variation of posture, engagement etc and most importantly the que ends in just the right place to leave some space on the right for balance.

What a long line. At least they sped things up by taking orders ahead. It's a good addition to the scavenger hunt. THe meal time rush in this case. It's a bit soft, though. And perhaps I'd be tempted to crop it even more tightly above and below to really stretch it out to emphasize the line. Nice, colorful, mealtime capture.
