Folks walk through the Soda City market on Main St. in Columbia, SC Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019. The market operates year-round, each Saturday from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Tater tots were good but overpriced, while the giant potato breakfast burrito eliminated any value grumblings.

About the author:

Sean has been photographing South Carolina since 1997 when he joined the Gamecock Newspaper at the University of SC. He came to school to study computer science — but those classes sucked. After receiving a degree in Media Arts, Sean worked as an assistant manager at a record store, and began freelancing with the local daily newspaper. After few years and multiple gun-point hold-ups, Sean found a job tending bar at a small live music venue, balancing the service industry with freelance photography for over a decade. He lost his job after telling his boss off at the bar one night, and took on photography full time in 2015. Since then, Sean has become a regular contributor to Getty Images, The Associated Press, The New York Times and many others. You can see more of his work at www.seanrayford.com.
