#4 & #10 are my favs. This must have been a very smelly and gory experience! It kind of makes me guilty for eating fish.

Be glad you were able to take photos -- there's a new policy banning tourists from the tuna auctions at Tsukiji.

Great place. I would like to see some black and white work as well. The noise and the smell and energy are all here.

I was there 25 years ago. I will never forget that place. Your pictures tells it all! Great work. It is not easy to take clear and nice pictures in covered and badly lit markets.

this is a great sequence - the only thing missing is the smell of the place: which I guess must have been quite something else !!

I'm a vegetarian, and these photos made me absolutely cringe - I suppose that means they were good :-)

That man's profile... looks like fish head. Was that your intention?
