[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Mopti market is around the harbor which is a "widening" of the river Niger. People arrive per boat of with "rolling" crock's pulled by horsed or cows. Since Mopti is on the souther edge of the Sahel you will see people who sell the "head equipment" of the Tuareg man. This man was like a "speedy Consalis" racing around on the market to get as much customers as he could and he did well.

Good one, Frans! Nice colours on the scarfs and great blurry effects at the back - makes us see how speedy the salesman was!

Hi Frans,
This is really great!
The bands of colour created by the cloth look awesome!
The best bits are his expression and the motion blur you caught while panning, awesome!!!
Thanks,

Hello Frans!

First , I visited you a few times already. But I have to tell you I missed quite a few of your shots ( You post early in the morning , while I browse the gallery often in the evenings ; As there is a lot of shots posted each day, most of the time I do not go through the entire daily postings) That being said. Today I browsed your gallery. I am really impressed by the quality of your photos, and your subjects.

You have a beautiful approach and a great complicity between you and your subjects. You have real contacts with the people. In Mali, in China . you do not only take street life scene, we live street life through your art. Those smiles are all priceless.

Big bravo for your portfolio. A great contribution to this site you are sharing with us. Keep on the good work.

This one is a great example of what I am mentioning above. Life is tough in Mali indeed, but a smile cost nothing. And I am sure you returned the smile to this friendly salesman.
Cheers!
Robert
