Street Vendors... #idphotography

I've always been amazed by the entrepreneurial spirit of street vendors, being able to make that distant connection between having fun or partaking in the celebrations, versus, selling their wares to participants. I was doing my usual photography routines when I noticed the street vendors that were doing a brisk business satisfying the crowd's desires. Here are some snapshots that I took. Enjoy.

Celebrations are an important part of all cultures, and what is interesting about someone like me who loves to observe capture some of these nuances of local celebrations, is the tendency for some of these local celebrations to be part of something even larger. Perhaps it is one way for social engineering to take place, albeit in a slow, subtle, yet celebratory manner.
