Hey Robert,
Nice shot capturing a really interesting subject on such a bustling street. Your photo shows that the city is so bustling and busy that they have to have mobile-tea-stations...
Good job and thanks for sharing,
Jon

The tea sellers in the arabic countries are always attractive with their dress and all their cups. Here you captured him in black and white with good perspective. Maybe a larger format would have been even more successful.
Good job. Thanks for sharing,

Hi Robert!
A really great B&W photo. I've seen these sellers only in Turkey, but I've been wanting to visit Syria for so long. This photo gives us an idea of so much life, with so much to see there.
Well done!

Hello Robert,
I justr discovered your gallery and web site. I like this image (although I think I prefer the color version you show on your site). I saw water sellers in Morocco but never saw tea sellers, good idea !
I really have to go to Syria because I am a heavy tea drinker :o)
Nice picture and good attitude of the guy captured.
Best regards. Christian
