Market Man

view map

This guy don't look to happy, but he actually was pretty excited about having his picture
taken. I almost didn't make it out of this alleyway actually, after showing the photo on my
LCD everyone wanted to see their own faces on the screen. Anyway, this guy was a textile
merchant in one of the stalls there, as noticed by the bolt of pink cloth on his shoulder
(smart guy, he did it for the advertising). The lady behind him is laughing at me for something,
with one of her friends across the alleyway... The market was fairly impressive, with all wares
set up and together like you would see in the middle east, the only obvious difference being in
the ramshackle building or hut style architecture, if you would even call it that. Very compact,
or "cluttered" with every bit of space that can be utilized piled high with merchandise,
leaving very little space for the shopper.

Taken in Axum, Ethiopia.
