I’ve taken a lot of pictures of people around the world. But this young man surprised me. He was the first who actually had a sense of humor and wasn’t afraid to show it to the camera. I was shocked when I looked through the lens and saw him ‘pose’ for his picture which he agreed to. The whole bakery in Wadi Musa erupted in laughter; including myself! This bakery in Wadi Musa was my favorite for many reasons, but this young man was one of the main reasons. I think it says a lot about the Jordanian culture and sense of humor.
