Hat tip to Michael Turton over at View From Taiwan blog for this picture. (Posted to flickr)
Many, many times I’ve wanted to capture the very essence of the nearly ubiquitous Taiwanese open-front restaurant, with it’s little plastic stools, fold up tables, metal work area, that strange metal box thing in the back and the consistent dingy-grey color.
Yet, somehow, I’ve just never managed to capture one of these places in a good picture. (Partially because I’m just self-conscious about snapping photos of people’s businesses [and probably homes])
Michael has absolutely nailed it with this photo.
