Character at the spice souk

The spice souk was my favorite part of the medina, with the very unique and colorful spice pyramids. It’s hard to photograph people here, especially in such close quarters, but I did manage to capture this interestingly dressed man, a real mix of traditional and contemporary.

One could spend hours here, so much to observe and photograph. I got a chuckle out of the clothing! V

A well shot spontaneous capture of everyday life. The soft light, clarity and colors are wonderful. Having customers in the image adds so much. Voted
