African Street Vendor on a hot day in Rome
Mid-Afternoon, 35.5C across from Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. Hawkers regale the tour busses with cold water, trinkets and electronic accessories. This hawker was having no buyers, and the heat was taking it's toll. Watching him I saw the defeat in his eyes and the determination in his wrinkled face. I saw the immigrant's nobility that I often saw in my grandfather's face.
