Photographer’s Note
I REPOSTED THIS PHOTO TO BOTH UP THE SIZE & PROVIDE A WIDER POV.
(ORIGINAL NOTE IN SMALL CASE BELOW)
A friend stood in front of me so that I could get a discrete shoot of the bustling activity along the main road of Ketou's market.
The market comes to Ketou once every five days.
The man on a motorcycle is waiting at the taxi stop for passengers to get on. Around him are three men wearing coats. It must have been about 30 degrees when I took the photo, but it was during the 'Harmattan' season. During this time, it's very dry and dusty; the temperatures do actually drop quite a bit at night, so it is comparatively 'cool' in the early morning.

Nice picture depicting the daily life. I wished you had taken the sandals wrapped in plastic at the bottom right out of frame. It is creating a bit of distraction
