Bad news for the pigs, may a good meal for someone in the near future. A really neat journalism shot, framed and focused to show a day and life for the market.

Now that's something we don't see in our part of the world! ha The health department would be all over this! I'm wondering if the guy is wearing the mask for the smell of the dead pigs or to protect himself from disease. I know lots of Asians wear masks to protect from communicable diseases, we should as well. Neat motorcycle cart they have there. A photo with tons of interest!

Great photojournalistic catch here. Super sharp detail. Story well told. Pretty grizzly, but that's pj. One question: why is that guy wearing a mask? Very nice job. Cheers. James.

Guess it would be difficult to tow a refrigerated trailer with a motorbike - quite surprising the size of the trailer he can tow with the weight of passenger and pigs. Good capture little tightly cropped.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Great journalistic shot the story is instantly seen. They do eat a lot of pork both here and in Cambodia.

Nicely framed, cropped tightly to keep our eyes on the "story", exposed well, saturated naturally, sharp as a tack.

You are on your way home soon. Have a safe journey.

We leave for Nepal in a month....traveling Air Asia....EEEEEEEEKS.

Comment from Danrae
You have such interesting sites on through viewing your posts. I notice the mask on the one worker. Do they ice those pigs when they get to market? Wouldn't think they would stay fresh too long. A motorcycle with a trailor, interesting, surprised it can pull it. Thanks for sharing a little bit of another part of the world. Nice viewing.

Comment from Lmsmith
Interesting this is. I can see why he had on a mask. Don't think I would be eating pork there. Picture is excellent, Focus is sharp and the story line goes well. Thanks for the notes as well.
