EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of daily life in the bustling market of Houmt Souk, Djerba, Tunisia, in 1987. Two Djerban men, both dressed in traditional Tunisian attire, sit beside their stall, engaged in a quiet exchange. The man on the right holds out his open palms, soliciting payment from a customer, while the man on the left carefully checks a note before passing him coins. The men's traditional Chechia hats, with their distinctive hoods, shield them from the North African sun. The market, a maze of narrow streets filled with vibrant colors and the sounds of haggling, is a hub of activity. The portrait-style composition draws the viewer in, inviting us to witness a moment of connection between the men and their customer. The photograph captures the rich cultural heritage of Tunisia and the vibrant energy of the market, transporting us to a different time and place.
