EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a barefooted Cairo street seller takes a moment of respite from his daily hustle. Seated on his barrow, surrounded by the vibrant colors of ripe grapes and the practical tools of his trade - a set of scales - the man leans back, taking a drag from a cigarette. The sun casts long shadows across the dusty street, adding to the sense of stillness and quiet reflection. The man's turban sits atop his head, a common sight in the bustling streets of Cairo. His weathered face, creased with the lines of a life lived outdoors, is etched with the stories of a thousand transactions and countless customers. The smoke from his cigarette curls up into the air, mingling with the aroma of the sweet grapes and the bustling sounds of the city. This image, captured circa 1995, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Cairo street seller. It is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found amidst the chaos and hustle of a bustling Middle Eastern market. The man's moment of rest, surrounded by the fruits of his labor, speaks to the resilience and determination of those who make their living on the streets of Cairo. The photograph's composition, with the man situated between the pile of grapes and the scales, emphasizes the balance and harmony of his world. The use of natural light and the rich textures of the scene add depth and dimension to the image, making it a captivating and evocative piece of street photography. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the human spirit and the simple joys that can be found in the most unexpected places. It is a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time and transport us to another world.
