EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a shoe shine man takes a moment of respite from his trade in the bustling Houmt Souk market of Djerba, Tunisia. The year is 1987, and the man lies in a shady spot on the pavement, surrounded by the tools of his craft - brushes and polish. His weary expression speaks to the long hours spent waiting for customers in the North African sun. The scene is a stark contrast to the vibrant colors and activity that characterizes the market. The man's stillness and the shadows cast by the nearby buildings create a sense of quiet reflection amidst the chaos. The image captures the essence of a moment in time, a brief pause in the daily hustle and bustle. Despite the fact that most people in Tunisia wear sandals or go barefoot, the shoe shine man remains hopeful, ready to attend to the occasional customer. His dedication to his work, even in the face of limited demand, is a testament to his determination and the importance of providing a service to those who need it. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the resilience of those who make a living on the streets of a foreign land. It is a portrait of a man and his trade, a snapshot of a moment in time that speaks to the universal themes of work, rest, and the passage of time.
