Yashica Mat, f/5.6, 1/125, Fuji Neopan 100 ISO – 120mm film.
I shot this portrait during my visit to Goa in the November of 2009. At about 6 ‘o clock in the evening, he was on his way home after a hard day in the seas, fishing. He reminds me of a gentleman I’d shot in Maharashtra, half a decade ago. I see many similarities in indigenous people from the west coast of India.
Canon AE-1P, f/1.8, 1/60, Kodak T400CN – 35mm film.
The intensity of both the photos is so amazing and yes so similar
Thanks, Amra.
Very cool. It is as if the guy in the second pics head is growing away from his body.
Thanks, Bearman.
It does seem that way, doesn’t it?
The subject in the second photo looks like he’s had a hard life
He is the elder most living person in his village. A village that was isolated until 3 odd decades ago simply because no roads led in and out of it!
Your artwork/photography is so powerful and beautiful!
Thanks, Patty.
interesting to see the similarity. the second pic is brilliant!!
I find the second shot very powerful. Bearman’s comment made me see him as a tree.

As much as I like the second shot, I love the first one, and for many reasons. Maybe the second shot is taking everything away from the first?
good pics…you take only B&W ones?
No, but BW excites me the most.
great pics as always.. if i were to pick one of the two, i’d pick the first one..
thanks, Mandira
