Most markets in Hindu majority Bali have their own temple. Bali's local markets are open on an every three day rotating schedule because venders travel from town to town. Before modern refrigeration and convenience stores became common place on Bali, markets were thriving community gatherings. Fewer people shop at markets now as more and more consumers go to convenience stores and more families have refrigerators.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 09 JUNE 2012 - PHOENIX, AZ: People walk through the Roadrunner Farmers' Market. The Roadrunner Farmer's Market, in Roadrunner Park in Phoenix, is one of the most popular farmers' markets in the Phoenix area. Unlike many of the other farmers' markets, it's open year round. Most of the vendors in the market are local small scale farmers who practice sustainable agriculture. The market is very popular with "locavores," people interested in eating food that is locally produced and not moved long distances to market.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 14 JUNE 2018 - SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Women shop for clothes in Namdaemun Market. Namdaemun Market is one of the oldest continually running markets in South Korea, and one of the largest retail markets in Seoul. The streets in which the market is located were built in a time when cars were not prevalent, so the market itself is not accessible by car. The main methods of transporting goods into and out of the market are by motorcycle and hand-drawn carts. It occupies many city blocks, which are blocked off from most car traffic due to the prevalence of parking congestion in the area.       PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
