Bird shop, Tozeur, Tunisia, 2008

I often look for unique facades to provide a background for a street scene. In this case, the seven birdcages hanging in front of this shop, as well as the parked motorbike, along with the characteristically patterned brickwork, offered a detailed setting unique to Tozeur. I needed to bring the scene to life, but I did not want to break the flow of the bird cages, and so I settled on the blue door at right as a frame within my frame. I photographed a number of people passing by that door, and this was the most evocative -- a silhouetted stroller, reading while he walks into my image and animates it.
