Caught in the act...

This bold lady approached our group, seeking sales among us. One lady in our group bought a string of beads and a scarf. Therefore, I thought it fair game to shoot. I was caught in the act and she asked me for 2 euros (for the shot). I played dumb, indicating that I was with the woman making the purchase. She assumed I meant it was my wife and let me off.

I noticed several African men sitting on steps about 20 meters away and realised that they were observing and guarding this woman who was probably their means of income.
