I was walking around the streets in Pratunam, Thailand, at 11 p.m. looking for street food. My older sister (with a look of shock and excitement) tells me this vendor has been here at the exact same spot for 25-plus years making fried doughnuts.

Beijing, China
Photograph by Douglas Bakshian, My Shot
I saw these grilled scorpions at a festival in Beijing. Their upward pointing claws created a satanic image, like the devil's pitchfork. Besides the jumbo black ones, and the bite-size whites, you could follow up with a snack of grilled locusts. I was not feeling adventurous.

Street food is very popular with tourists in India, especially in Kolkata. Varieties of food and fruit juice shops attract tourists. Shops also create a colorful environment, which creates a competition to sell products. This shot was taken in a street in Kolkata.

Harbin, China
Photograph by Hjortur Valgeirsson, My Shot
The picture was taken on the streets of Harbin in northern China in January 2011. The temperature in the city reaches minus 30°C. Street vendors line the streets selling sugared apples, candy floss, and even ice cream. This lady covers her face and is dressed in multiple layers to sustain the cold. The heat from the cooking and the breathing from the staff create an ever-present mist evaporating from the small cubicle. Taken with an EOS 7D, with Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 lens.
