The Candy Man Can, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good....

-The Candy Man, Sammy Davis Jr

Hello Wanda - Nice to see you posting again and I see you've been to Turkey, isn't it a brilliant country?

I love this old-fashioned looking sweet shop. The glass bottles filled with colourful confectionery which looks so tempting (sugared almonds?) and makes a brilliant FG next to the enamel weighing scale. Looking beyond, the shop-keeper in his white coat adds to the old-fashioned feel. Very nice DL shot with well managed ambient light.
Did you buy some Turkish Delight?

Warm regards Rosemary

Buona giornata

Hello Wanda,
This shop interior is lovely with excellent light management. It is also a very good portrait of the shopkeeper. The three jars of coloured sweets give a super centre of interest and organisation to this excellent picture.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hello Wonda,

I don't have sweet tooth, My teeths are all gone from eating too much Candy in Laos and no denist :)

But I love this image, the colors would entice me to go in the shop and then what the h, I will have some sweet. Very daily life image of the sweet shop or the sweat shop :) full of candy. These looks like candy covered almonds. Hard on the teeth but yummy.

Hi Wanda

a post of the remote century, now the candies are sold in packs! I like the sweet colors and the man face balancing the old scales.

Hello Wanda,
Being a diabetic I wouldn't even go near this shop, but thanks to your photo at least I get a very nice view of the attractively coloured sweets for sale, the many other fine details of the shop and a good portrait of the proprietor. The light management is impressive.
Kind regards,
Gert
