Lachlan Fysh, Downtown Busan (PLACES 2023)

I recently lugged my 4x5 field camera to Korea for a trip of bike touring and sightseeing - when I was developing sheets in hotel bathrooms it often felt like a silly idea but when I closed the shutter on this long exposure of the night life in Busan I was pretty sure I had something special and when I pulled the negative out of the tank I was really grateful it had come out. These night vendors were selling the same Korean comfort foods as everywhere else but the ladies here seemed to put a bit more care in; easily the best tteokibokki of the trip, and I ate a lot.
