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.

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!
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.
brilliant street photograph .. its so interesting seeing images from other countries and hearing their different stories .. in australia it would be against the law to sell your wares in a doorway unless you had a permit .. even then i'm not so sure .. :)
It's against the law here as well. But that's what makes it wonderful.
