Trading is staying alive

Iran
Techran
In all parts of the islamic world, medinas remain through the ages, the most live and active part of the city. They open their gates at down and they close them at senset having received an inummerable crowd of local people who consider this visit as the most necessary ingredient of their daily routine securing not only the least of their bare necessities but also being a good opportunity for socializing and friendly communicating. Trading, searching, bargaining and bying is a way of life or, better, a way for staying alive...

Having to sho every day, and in a great crowd like this leaves me cold.....but what a great social docu shot you have made.
I like the face of the woman in the bottom right corner and the eyes of the man behind and to the left of your shot. A picture filled with the hustle and bustle of every day life....

Colpisce in questa fotografia il senso quasi sacrale dell'architettura, che sembra costituire una cornice immutabile ma sempre accogliente per la folla di persone che attendono ai loro affari e faccende, ripercorrendo ritmi e percorsi che vengono dal passato e che domani altre persone ripeteranno nello stesso modo.
Tanti auguri per il 2015,
Carlo
