Photographer's Note
Another Bangkok street vendors photo...
Shot in Sampeng, a crowded and narrow street of Chinatown, this tar like black jelly is the base for a drink(name and taste unknown to me) We can see a girl walking with a plastic bag full of ice and some soft drink, Thai people drink and eat almost all the time and love to walk around with these bags...
Any further info on the black stuff is welcomed!
Hope you like it

Bonjour Laurent
Encore un joli cliché de la vie quotidienne. As-tu essayé cette boisson noire ? Celà a quel goût ?
Grande netteté des personnages.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Bonjour, mon ami Laurent,
Merci de nous emporter dans des lieux peu connus du grand tourisme. Vous êtes notre guide à travers ces dédales, et nous découvrons avec plaisir les habitudes des habitants.
La photo est particulièrement réussie, tous les détails et couleurs sont parfaitement rendus.
Amitiés.

Hi Laurent,
a great daily life scene from Bangkok. I remember so well all the people with a plastic bag full of ice and some soft drink. About the black stuff I don't know, maybe liquorice.

Laurent, c'est très intéressant de se trouver dans la vie quotidienne d'un peuple, c'est une façon de faire du tourisme qui est enrichissante pour tous. La photo est très nette et les attitudes sont naturelles.

Hi Laurent,
You caught this one at a decisive moment, with a superb POV and good lighting. The vendor is beautiful and self-assured, and the woman with the plastic bag nicely balances the scene and helps illustrate your note. Very tight framing and cropping allows for high impact. A keeper, Laurent. Well done.

Hi Laurent,
I love the composition and technical details of this daily life photo. We also have this 'black drink' in the Philippines and was a favorite when I was growing up. TFS and well done.

This is a very nice photo. It shows very clearly what she is selling. The black stuff if I am not wrong is gelatinized herb. Those that are marketed here in the U.S. are canned and the black jelly are cut into 5 cm. cubes. It is sweet but you cannot compare the taste with other jellied drinks. It is very different. It is a learned taste to like it, like drinking scotch.

This is a typical scene is SEA. I was born and raised in Malaysia and grew up drinking this black drink. I can't remember the local name for it but it's basically a simple black jelly (not herbed) that's produced in a size of a brick. Then, it's cut up into little cubes or strips and mixed in water. The water slowly turns black. The drink is usually served first by scooping some liquid sugar into a plastic bag or cup, then the black jelly mixture is poured in. So, therefore it becomes sweet, otherwise, it's not and it doesn't taste very good without the sugar. This drink is cooling in a hot climate like Thailand and Malaysia. The plastic bags are used as a take-out or take-away option. They don't use wax or styrofoam cups there.
Your composition and pov is good capturing the right moment with the cutting of the jelly and the lady drinking from the plastic bag.

You've captured the feel of a Bangkok street well here, Laurent, with people half turned sideways in order to push past all the stalls and people coming the other way. Good sharpness and DOF. Cheers . . . David

Too bad you didn't taste the drink Laurent. It looks very interesting! A good picture of this street and people walking around. It give us an idea of the cities in this country and the way of life there. Good colors, light and sharpness. Have a Happy New Year and keep posting :-)
