He Came On Crutches Photo

Photographer’s Note

After the rain stopped the crowd slowly began to trickle in at the bazaar. The air is now fresh and slightly cooler. At least now all of us can take a deep breath and sigh of relief, hoping that business will begin to pick up. I was still shooting the aftermath of the rain. Interestingly I saw this guy limping in to the bazaar area on crutches. His friend was beside him giving a helping hand. I saw his crutch slipped momentarily on a piece of wet plastic that was lying on the ground but his friend was quick to grab his arm. As they are walking they browse. And you know what...check out their croc! I have been wanting to buy a pair for myself...oh well!.

Hey Mustapha. This is really a good shot & crop. The wet pavement really adds a lot of interest to the photo. The guy on crutches is dressed too well to be the one looking for a spot to beg. I often wonder how the severely cripple beggars get to their place of "business". They can't possibly be getting there on their own. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Mus,

Great photojournalist. It pinned down to those CROCS out there. Nevermind Mus, What is sufficient is just nice. We do not need a pair of croc to snap nice picture like you do.

Thanks for sharing
