Photographer’s Note

You must look hard to find shops on the Sierra Leoninan countryside. So this merchant brings his shop out to the people. Cigarettes and some other goods are what he's offering.

A life SOOOOOO different from ours...
A photo to think about.
A lot could be told. But sometimes less is more

Excellent, Ivar, I like how you included the pastel-toned huts in the background. This merchant makes for a very vivid display of an all-too-common slice of life, I'd say.

It would be preferable not to cut off the face of the woman at right, but that is minor, it's a great shot!
