Grind Mode - PhotoFeed Contest Street Photography 177.

You can't be in any street in Aba without spotting either a mobile vendor or a wheelbarrow pusher.
It's a popular sight here. And there's a reason for that.

This is how people hustle... to make ends meet, although the ends can never meet.

On Georges' Street, I spotted this mobile towel vendor on the grind - pushing a cart loaded with bright towels — reds, yellows, blues and more. The cart is his shop.

Come rain, come shine, he moves the market to the people, one house, one street at a time. And I tell you, he's making banks. People would ordinarily patronize him because of the convenience, especially someone who's had it in their plans.

Another moment freezed at Batta Junction. Traffic, a traffic officer, the fountain.

And then the wheelbarrow pusher moving past the junction, his cart empty. Maybe he just dropped off goods or maybe heading to pick up load. Whichever is the case, he's on the grind.

These sights you see a part of the pattern that keep the busy and alive. Different streets, different frames, same goal: hustling.
