meeting of peg sellers, a photo from Agadir, South

Photographer's Note

One of the first things I saw after arriving in Morocco was a man carrying a peg. Soon after I saw him another much younger man who was also carrying a peg saw him and greeted him and then they had this chat.
I guess they spoke about the peg selling business.

Hello Gerrit,
You managed to combine an aesthetically quite attractive view with an amusing content. I like this kind of unexpected street photos very much. You were also lucky to meet these men in a place with such a nice background.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Gerrit,

C'est а se demander si ils vont s'йchanger leur porte manteau respectif. Une belle scиne de la vie quotidienne dans cette partie du monde. Le mur orange offre un beau contraste.

Amicalement

Serge

An interesting scene but more interesting are these clothes hangers, today you can't see such a decorative form of hangers, very well observed

Hi Gerrit
Oddly enough, we just decided today in my office that we need one of these as everybody is wearing long coats for winter, I wonder if you go their number so I can buy one! An interresting scene, and as mentioned above in addition to it being a cool candid shot, it is interesting to see such decorated pieces, a lot more elaborate that the one my office will end up with I guess a,
Best wishes
Noel

Hi Gerrit

A superb daily life scene from Morocco with warm colors and good sharpness and dof. The tree at left and the wooden post at right nicely frame the scene. The blue insecticide painted on the tree to prevent beetle larvae contrasts well against the red. The 2 gold coat rack stands make an interesting point of discussion for the men. Tfs!

Hello Gerrit, this shot brought a smile to my face!
Perhaps they just went to the same store?
It is a lovely study of everyday life, thanks for sharing.
Regards Jean.

Hello Gerrit,
I like very much how you saw a potential story in this meeting and was quick to capture a well framed scene of the two men talking seriously about the peg business. But maybe they have just bought the pegs and now they are figuring out why the price was different:) It's a fine candid scene that engages the viewer and makes them smile, the way you set it up it's candid and theatrical at the same time. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, a wonderful Christmas to you!

unfortunately I hadn't time to visit Agadir.
very nice idea to take this image, the men looks very interesting and well positioned with their products. I liked the contrast of them against the wall. I would cut off the lateral trunks.

hugs
