 This man is a peasant selling some home nursed eggs. These people come to Belgrade from near by villages to sell their goods. This is in the very downtown and you can even notice a reflection of the public bus in the door window. There's a market place just 100 meters from this spot but you have to pay some money to rent a stand there, so he prefers selling it 'from the street'. One egg goes for around €10 cents.

*taken with Sigma 10-20mm

**thanks to Melethia for Troy the Revenge action, helped a lot in editing this scene.

This image really works well. Love the doorway and his setup. Great capture.

I love the contrast between the egg seller and his simple setup, and the ad on the wall of the building for a club and discotech with fancy foods. Wow, what a COOL street scene!

He looks to be a kindly soul. And eggs at 10 cents is a bargain!

This is great. I like that his face (or hat?) isn't in sharp focus -- gives the viewer that feeling of moving briskly by, which is probably how most people see him.

It's against the law here as well. But that's what makes it wonderful.

He is an awesome character.. The tones give it a very vintage feeling and he looks right at home in it..

Great street shot - it's amazing how these people make a living, or for that matter just survive. Hope the eggs were nice.
