This small shop is typical of the small general stores that serve Morocco’s rural areas. It offers everything from snacks and sodas to propane gas and soap. What drew me to this scene is the juxtaposition of reality and fantasy. The products that define this business surround the three men in this image. They seem oblivious to the metal door at right that displays unintentionally surreal fragments of advertisements, past and present. A primitive rendering of a Kasbah (there are numerous kasbahs in the Dades Valley) featuring a shredded head of a baby floating in the sky overhead, and a huge bar of pink soap made this little shop a memorable sight along the road to Ouarzazate.
