Portrait # 1


The start of a series on portraits of the ordinary people you encounter on the streets of Bombay everyday. This is a vendor selling lanterns made of glittery paper.

  2. Wonderful picture here! And he's wondering what you're doing...and if you're interested in a lantern. :)

  5. Thanks Fiona, Elizabeth and Elspeth - the picture came out much better than I expected, so I had to share. This is a fairly common sight in India- what changes is the stuff the vendor is hawking. It could be paper lanterns, masks, toys, anything!
