misvak seller Photo

Photographer’s Note

Bu kez Mekke'den bir pazaryeri... Pazaryeri dediysem bizim bildiğimiz herşeyin satıldığı pazarlardan değil... Sadece misvak satıcıları var. Bu arada misvağın tazesi ve incesi dişler üzerine daha etkiliymiş.
Misvağın asıl önemi; mensup olduğumuz dinimiz İslam'ın binlerce yıllardan beri ağız-diş sağlığına ve temizliğine verdiği önem...

Misvak Ağacı(salvadore persica) : İkiçenekliler sınıfının, salva doraceae familyasından, Doğu Afrika'dan Hindistan'a kadar uzanan bölgelerde yetişen küçük bir step ağacıdır. Odunu çok liflidir. Dallarının ucundaki kısım diş fırçası yerine kullanılır. Meyvesi de yenebilir.
Faydası : Dişleri temizler. Diş etlerini kuvvetlendirir. Ağız kokusunu giderir.

Misvak: A kind of tooth brush made from a relatively soft wood...

Ahmet hocam;
Bir Doktor olarak bizden daha iyi bilirsiniz ağız sağlığını.Hastalarda da karşılaşıyoruz kimi zaman,gencecik yaşta protezler...
Tanıtım karesi adına çok başarılı,gözlüklü beyefendinin duruşu ile de daha hoş gözüküyor.
Elinize sağlık,iyi nöbetler size...

Good morning Ahmet

A really candid composition of the people in the street market. Their expression is unique and what is very attractive is the capturing of a very local style scene, like a documentary. The framing, colors and sharpness are very good.

Compliments and TFs

Hey Ahmet,

A splendid daily life motive, well composed, with a good attention the the details and colors. I would however like - maybe - a picture of the whole bazaar to put in perspective and share some more liveliness. Fine work nevertheless.

I think this post has taught many of us something new. I have never heard of wood used to clean the teeth, but I guess it is an old idea. Well taken image of the transaction.

Hi Ahmet, friend,

I like the best your pictures from Turkey, but I stopped here in front of the kind of photos I like to make myself: the life in one atmosphere. As I didn't understand your note, i can understand that one Turc is negotiating with one Saudian. Nice scene. Many thnaks and all compliments friend,

Branko

Merhaba Ahmet,
A vivid street scene, very catchy for its naturality. And also very educative! I had heard about some people using plants as toothbrush, but I had never seen them like here.
Selamlar, José.
