The weather is getting warmer, the Asian Dust is clearing, and Gupo Market is bustling. It’s one of my favorite markets to photograph in Busan, and it’s a great place to pick up some fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, or meat. People are pretty friendly here, and if you ask nicely a lot of the vendors will let you take a portrait. I spent an hour at the market today and left with some nice images and some insanely massive strawberries.
