Dakar, Senegal; May 2007
What do you do if you are a market trader and you don’t have fancy shelves and rails to display your wares? You make creative use of what you’ve got – as this stallholder at Dakar’s Sandega Market has done.
Here are a few more market scenes…
I went to Senegal in May 2007 to write about Chinese immigrants in Dakar for Anyway magazine and interview world music star Youssou N’Dour. I’ve previously featured Goree Island off the coast of Dakar in Photo Friday in November last year.

Gorgeous photos!
I love the colorful fabrics!
I always love watching the travel/food shows when they visit the open-air markets. The colorful wares and yummy looking street food always make me wish I could visit there myself.
I love your pictures! I seek out open air markets when I am in a new city….it is so cool to find a table of something I have never seen before or am not familiar with!
Great photos, Caitlin! I just love all the colorful markets in other parts of the world. There are always such great finds to be had.
What colourful fabrics those are! Absolutely gorgeous!
Forgive me for my primitive thoughts…Why was I thinking Dakar was all mud-and-stone houses? With all the high rise buildings I see in your photos, it looks pretty modern and clean!
