'Chicken for Dinner', a photo from Perak, Ouest

Photographer's Note

This is the local market where my mother bought her chicken for my dinner when I came to visit her last year.
When I was young I used to see this kind scene in the market but when I got to use to the western ways I kind of put off by the unhygienic ways they sell the chicken meats.
Funny thing is, I didn't got sick at all. In fact, it was so delicious. Can't beat Mother's cooking.

Ola Loong ,
Uma cena destas na Europa penso que será impossível de encontrar :) , sem duvida é uma bela cena de vida diária neste mercado na Malásia , muitas vezes estes frangos são caseiros e mais saborosos que os de aviário :) , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Loong...

I will take this method over "industrialized" poultry production every time. The travesties committed by the large chicken-meat producers here have made it impossible for me to eat their product with a clean conscience -- so I don't!

About the foto itself -- this is a fearless presentation of the realities of "Chicken for Dinner!" I like your recognition of great light, and your use of the open aperture to get the bokeh background.

Best regards,

Hello Loong,
I saw this one by coincidence. It reminds me a bit of this place I saw in China:

It doesn't look so nice, but I am sure in both places these chickens tasted better than most of those you can buy in Europe or North America.
Amusing? Well... Interesting? Yes, of course.
Best wishes,
Gert
