Albanian shopkeeepers

Walking through Tirana, Albania, I came upon Rruga Ferit Xhajko, a street lined with small specialty stores. On that warm and lovely fall day, the shopkeepers were mostly seated or standing by their wares. Most agreed to be photographed. Despite not sharing a spoken language, this was a pleasant moment in that wonderful city... that I later relived with three women at their shops in Vlorë.
