The pencil seller bringing colour to Tehran’s bazaar for over 30 years


Tehran (AFP) – In a dimly lit corner of Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, Mohammad Rafi is surrounded by all colours of the rainbow in his tiny shop that sells nothing but art pencils. The world may have gone digital, but Rafi has stayed true to his passion of the past 35 years, surrounded by thousands of pencils in every hue and shade imaginable.
