A pair of doors, Marrakesh, Morocco, 2006

One door is elegantly tiled. The other is wide open -- leading to a public toilet. The man at left is the attendant, collecting about twelve cents from each and every visitor. The story here is simple one. The two doors are richly diverse. The one at left implies wealth and power. The one at right speaks to a common need. We have no access to the first door. But if we give the fellow on the left twelve cents, we are all free to follow in the footsteps of the fellow in the gray jellaba.

You are right, Jenene. We all must answer calls of nature. But some are able to do it with more style than others!

An amusing look at the divide between wealth and it's more 'common' counterpart.
