This man from Sierra Leone was making and selling market baskets at the Arts and Crafts Fair last Saturday. The baskets were gorgeous and finely woven. We talked while I took his picture and his hands didn’t stop working for a moment. His smile was enough to brighten anyone’s day.
I have a leather handled African basket of this sort and love it. Beautiful, durable, and well made.
Great capture Kay! I hope you gave him a print.
Great smile, great portrait!
It’s a terrific portrait, so colorful and ethnic! I’d love one of those baskets for my Saturday morning at the Farmer’s Market.
