Street vendor, Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, South America.
This gentleman was selling sun glasses in the streets of Cartagena, Colombia.
The image was shot using my Olympus OM-10 Mk. II and the Zuiko 12-40 f2.8 Pro.
Editing was done using Affinity Photo using their b&w conversion.
That's good B&W, and an interesting scene. Good shot.
Nice street shot--I like it.
Well done! If he doesn't sell any sunglasses today there may not be any supper tonight. I enjoyed my visit to Columbia, home of Shakira, "Hips Don't Lie"!
It piques my curiosity as to what the other gentleman has in his sack. Did he stop to set up shop or is he just checking out the contents? I hope the sunglasses vendor had a good day with sales. It doesn't look like there was much sun. Nice photo. I love to imagine different scenarios as to what is going on that I can't decipher from the actual photo.
The gentleman to the left of the photograph was simply looking inside the bag. During the short time I was there photographing I did not see him getting anything from that bag or placing anything in it.
As I said, in the short time I was there I did not see this street vendor to sell any pair of glasses. The old part of the city is full of all kind of stores selling not only glasses but other souvenirs for tourists and what I did notice is that tourists tend to buy from those stores than from street vendors.

Perhaps it is the kind of product that only gets exchanged during a handshake, or perhaps not. Camerapapi the quality of your kit shows through particularly in the skin tones.
