Muara Kuin Floating Market is another floating market in Banjarmasin that is always invaded by tourist. I personally prefer the Lok Baintan mainly due to a vantage angle is available for photography. Nevertheless, Muara Kuin Floating Market is a good location for candid photography.
A visit to the Bedugul’s traditional market of Bali, gave me an opportunity of capturing this image of the cohesion of a family. While the mother has to breast-fed her baby, the father was needed to stand by in case any customer come by to their fruit stall. That shows the partner of the family is needed if you like to ensure the business is successful. This is even true when there are competitors nearby doing the same kind of business. Moreover, the dignity and love of a mother cannot be denied even at a public place. I love the expression of every member in this candid shot. Don’t miss out an image capture by Eng Loy at the same location.
If you are heading toward Lok Baintan on a “klotok” along the Tabuk River, you would probably experience another colourful journey. The stilt houses of the village on both side of the river is yet another attraction on your way to Lok Baintan.
As seen here, one of the villagers is enjoying his morning catch right in front of a stilt house. Obviously, such a life is simple and very relaxing as well.
