Wanna Buy?

Wanna Buy?
Caught in the act...

This bold lady approached our group, seeking sales among us. One lady in our group bought a string of beads and a scarf. Therefore, I thought it fair game to shoot. I was caught in the act and she asked me for 2 euros (for the shot). I played dumb, indicating that I was with the woman making the purchase. She assumed I meant it was my wife and let me off.

I noticed several African men sitting on steps about 20 meters away and realised that they were observing and guarding this woman who was probably their means of income.

Street photography demands a fast learning curve!

Plenty of these African Traders, I always think it is part of the experience Simon, We once went to Florence it was so hot our heads were burning, all these traders selling what you saw in your picture, then the skies suddenly opened and all the traders disappeared, two minutes later they were back with arms full of umbrellas.

It seems to be somewhat universal, Jaap.
