EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print taken by John Smith, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Alexandria on a warm day in May 1976. The image captures the innocence and resilience of a young street vendor, who stands proudly behind his humble stall selling chick peas. With a beaming smile that lights up his face, it is evident that this boy finds joy in his work despite the challenges he may face. The vibrant cityscape serves as an intriguing backdrop for this snapshot of everyday life in Egypt during the 1970s. It offers us a glimpse into an era where fast food meant simple yet delicious offerings like chick peas, prepared with care and sold by hardworking individuals like this young entrepreneur. As we admire this photograph, it is impossible not to reflect on the environment surrounding him - one filled with noise, movement, and opportunity. This image reminds us of both the struggles faced by children forced into labor at such tender ages and their remarkable ability to find happiness amidst adversity. John Smith's skillful composition allows us to connect emotionally with this child street vendor; it compels us to consider our own privileges while appreciating the resilience displayed before our eyes. This print from Memory Lane Prints truly encapsulates a moment frozen in time - reminding us all of humanity's capacity for strength and determination even under challenging circumstances.
