'Memories'
Leh | India | 2016
En route Hemis Monastery, I came across this shopkeeper who runs a little grocery in the Shey Valley.
I just HAD to make a portrait of him, as he was so photogenic. That is when the thought process started on HOW to present him. A close-up looked like a great option. But as I looked around the shop, I found a wall full of souvenirs. If you look closely, between his many photographs, you will see a dollar note, an Indian rupee, a Nepali rupee and more. Each one, I am sure has a significance in his life; laden with a fond memory.
On the extreme right, top-hand corner, he had a calendar with the photograph of Indian PM, Narendra Modi (very heartwarming). I knew right away that an environmental portrait was the way to go. And here it is.
