Fujairah is one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It is among the smallest, with a population of less than 200,000 people. Many of them cater to the tourists that enjoy its beaches along the Gulf of Oman. This man is selling rugs and bags made of colorful fabrics. He was standing in the entrance of his shop, looking for customers. As I was about to make this picture, he turned towards me and struck this odd pose. He froze for a brief moment in this position, probably wondering why I would want to make a photograph of him. His body language is expressive – he stands with one hand in a pocket, and touches his neck with the other. Of Fujairah’s 200,000 people, he was the only one who earned a spot in this gallery.
