Metal Workers, Hama                                                               2003

(photograph available)

Behind Hama's small souq (market) is a street lined with metal workers that did everything from making huge copper pots, to welding gates, to repairing 200-liter drums.  The sound is deafening.  I had met the older man's son 2 years before.  Aladin was ill at home when I stopped by, but nonetheless it was an occasion for them to take a break from work and drink tea.
