WARNING: THIS IS KINDA GROSS (aka Delicacy to Disaster )

So, it has been forever since I did my last update, probably because I have been spending all my time photographing fish. I started this project as a side item while I was waiting to get a translator to begin what I really want my thesis to be about. Unfortunately, it stuck for the whole semester. It started off as a survey of the Hong Kong wet market. After being told that everyone and their mom has done a project on the wet market, I decided to actually buy the meat and make still lifes out of them, comparing the super fresh, unsanitary, raw meat to the over-processed, plastic meat you buy at the western grocery store that is probably 80% corn. This resulted in my apartment smelling like a fish stall every weekend for the past 3 months. I am just super happy that I never have to touch this project again and can start photographing what I really want to work on.
