Sewing Machine Street, a photo from Hareri Hizb, Sud

Photographer's Note

Harar: Old medeival capital of Ethiopian Islam.
Its streets are like a stroll through a distant mythical past, mixed with primitive elements of modernity.

Sewing street machine is a commercial street lined with tailor shops. Male tailors line the shops with their working tools doing their trade, thus the name of the street.

Daniel:once again you've reminded me why Ethiopia has to be one of my next travel destinations. Great colors and contrast in your pictures but more importantly, your scope of daily life is very broad. keep posting. regards, c

This is an excellent picture with a very good composition. The colours are so bright and beautiful that I wonder how you could do it indoors. The DOF is also excellent. Well done.

Salut Daniel,

Ca fait quelque temps qui je ne tombe pas sur tes photos sur la galerie de TE. Tu a poster de photos tres belles sur ton voyage en Etiopie ces dernieres semaines. Celle-ci m'ai attire l'attention, j'aime beaucoup le POV lateral qui montre le profil du couturier, le beleu de portes au fond et du vetment qui est acroche au mur au premier plan cadre le sujeit naturelement. Enfim une composition tres attirante de cette homme au travail.

A+

Flavia
