Social Support ....even for camera...Rural India-5

Posted by Balesh (Sydney, Australia) on 7 January 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Subject: I like deep wrinkles on the faces, which make very impressive portraits.

I was expecting merely a simple portrait of this middle age farmer (though looking quite old of his age). . . . .and here i saw the sample of social support. . . . . .of the close knit farmer society.


Another young boy came from behind tried to enlarge the man's ear by his shoes ...... it was a fraction of seconds before the farmer realized the conspiracy ....
but luckily my shutter made it...... what a moment.




Rural India - Real India:
As a small window to Rural India, I am starting this series with few selected images showing very rustic life of North India (mostly from Haryana, Rajasthan and few from other parts like Andra Pradesh and Orissa).
