1. For various reasons I shy away from people shots – but your work always inspires me to have a crack at it!
   Your composition shouts ‘concentration’ at me.

2. Thanks Stephen! I will treasure this compliment :). I love doing candid portraits. Frankly, I am also little bit uncomfortable doing them, but I generally make my intentions very obvious. So person knows that I will be capturing him or her. And if they have any objections they can make it known to me. I suppose , it is easier to do portrait photography in India, as generally people love to be photographed.

      2. :). Such a melodious sound it was! In fact,while I was sitting there, he made 3 bells (completely handmade) and each had a different sound. Sweet and melodious. These bells are tied around necks of cows,buffaloes etc. So that cowherd can hear them even if they venture far off.

         I once stayed in the middle of the desert. I woke up around 5.30-6. Sun was just rising on the horizon, world had yet not woken up,so there was a complete silence which only mornings can bring and from far off I could hear these bells as cows must be moving about. It had such a sweet sound. I always associate sound of these bells with that.

      3. A sound that would ring in our souls forever …

      4. Yes….

5. Beautiful details and colours, a wonderful portrait of someone at their work, someone in their world – and I especially like how he is holding it steady with his foot – another really excellent photograph, my friend! A 🙂
