Art of Exchange, a photo from Marrakech, South

Photographer's Note

A street vendor on the streets of Marrakech. His whole sock is put on the top of that little chair.
---------------
I simply loved that light and colours of Marrakech. In that little corner I found the light particularly interesting as the ceiling was made of a red linen (as if the intense red colour of the walls was not enough!) in order to prevent the place from the extreme sun rays.

Może nie jest to arcydzieło estetyczne, ale właśnie dlatego jest prawdziwe i za to cenię ten przekaz. Wolę prawdę chropowatą niż wypolerowany plastik.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie.

Zdjecie mi sie podoba, i uwazam je wlasnie za raczej estetyczne, o ile nie wezmiemy pod uwage nieestetycznej i nieprawdziwej podejrzanej "bieli" koszuli. Natomiast tytul (no i ta koszula ;)) nie leza mi tutaj. Nie widze do konca akcjii sprzedazy, wiec wolalabym cos innego jako tytual, ale nic mi nie przychodzi do glowy...
Czerwien i czern mi sie tutaj najbardziej podobaja, tworza caly klimat...
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

Hi Jerzy,
The hot red and and the phosphorescent-looking white shirt of the man caught my eye in the thumbnail. I can understand why you wanted to shoot this scene; the light is awesome. Well done.
Regards.

Czerwony kolor tіa stanowi znakomity podkіad do tego obrazu. Scena nie jest bogata w wydarzenia, ale wіa¶nie dlatego czerwieс jakby podgrzewa ogуlny nastrуj zdjкcia i eksponuje charakter tajemniczo¶ci. Dla mnie praca bardzo dobra, wykonana w ¶wietnym i tak charakterystycznym dla Ciebie stylu.
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek

Hey Jerzy!
Very nice and moody shot! I love the composition here with the man, the two chairs and the red color spot on the wall...The natural posr of the man is very good and effective.
Very nice!

See what you mean about the light and colours Jerzy as they give a really warm and calm feeling to the image. Like it.

Color is fascinating...it alone moves us. Here the intense depth of color in the confines of this dingy lane of Marrakesh is beautifully mysterious, the side-ways man may adds that essential element of human interest. The tonality of reflection off his white shirt is brilliant. A favorite.
