[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"The pearl of olives" is an approximative translation for the name of the shop.
Inside the covered market I asked the man whether I could photograph his shop I found so beautiful. The man agreed and posed for me; as he was shy, he plays some busy part. He was faintly smiling, but it's not obvious on my picture...
Le matin de Noël, dans le marché couvert, un magnifique étal. Je demande au marchand la permission de prendre une photo. Il acquiesce timidement, m'adresse un léger sourire (pas franchement perceptible sur la photo) et arrange son étal...

Hey Mary!
This is a really nice little shop. Good job!

Patrick

it is always a pleasure to see other countries daily life ,with those tiles, is very morrocan.thanks! & great capture.
:) i may have shoot it from front angleview to capture the whole shop, but is always not easy for street photo.
did a simple workshop too see how it go.

Il y a une belle humanité à cette image. On sent que cela a été pris sur le vif. La verson en WS apporte une amélioration, mais l'image de base se devait d'exister!

hi mary!

Ioannis

Hi, Mary. This is a pearl of a photo. Timeless, with lovely light, and, of course, the most delicious olives. Oh, I wish I had that shop within walking distance of me right now. (I like the workshop, too, but it doesn't show the sign. And the name is so appropriate.) A beautiful document of a simple, essential trade, and a simple, basic food. -Hugh
