Butcher shop, Douz, Tunisia, 2008

I try to look for similar colors that can tie the various elements of a picture together. Such is the case in this image of a butcher shop in the market of Douz, a small town near the Sahara Desert in southern Tunisia. I was drawn to it not just because of the matching blue door and blue window – I also liked the layer of blue provided by the tarp in the wheelbarrow that stands along with a bicycle just in front of the shop. All of these elements provide colorful context for a local shopper who stares at us from the doorway.
