The Blues Brothers

I took this in a carpet showroom, run (and owned) by Berber tribesmen in Rissani, Morocco. The gentleman on the right had given us the sales pitch before this and I had been taking pictures throughout (while there is a general aversion to portrait photography in Morocco, this tends to be waived when there's a chance you might be persuaded to part with significant amounts of cash).

 

When I showed some of the pictures I had taken (ah...the wonderful immediacy of digital photography!), his colleagues were suddenly keen to be photographed as well. Naturally, I was happy to oblige...and I've promised to send them some prints.
