June 17, 2026 | Sunday at the Pet Market

People surround a red hen at the Sunday pet market in Kolkata, India. Kolkata is home to Galiff Street Pet Market, which is considered by some as the oldest and largest pet market in India. People from across the city—and the world—visit the bustling market to observe and purchase exotic birds, fish, cats, dogs, chickens, and ducks. Photographer Julia Coddington specializes in street photography, and notes that what she loves the most about her specialty "is to lose myself in my invisibility and melt into the scene. It’s almost a fugue-like state, like I’m not there, or like a fly on the wall, or wearing an invisibility cloak."
