Description

Traditionally costumed water sellers are seen throughout Morocco. For a dirham or two water is poured from camel leather bags into brass or tin cups. Few tourists can resist photographing the colorfully clad men decked out in elaborate tasseled hats. You can hear the musical clinking of the brass and bells they wear. Today water sellers make more money from vacationers who pay to photograph them than from peddling water. Thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload :

Le porteur d'eau... figure emblématique en ville au Maroc! Celui-ci est tout Jdid ( neuf)! Encore une bouffée de mon enfance que tu m'apportes agréablement Bien nette et colorée avec ce mouvement saisi, belle idée de faire aller l'image au delà du cadre Cela donne un intérêt au delà du geste, vers la problématique de l'eau C'est réussi Michel q:)
