The old young man

The old young man

It is very difficult in this part of the world to shoot people, as they are very shy towards camera. I was waiting at the jetty in Mutrah for a shot of these local fisherman, wondering how to speak to them. Suddenly a voice came from this old man. Even though I didn't understand a word what he told me in Arabic, I realised that he was asking me to take pictures of him holding the big fish which he bought for sale at the local Mutrah fish market.

It was a pleasant scene to watch the innocent smile on his toothless face when he saw the picture in the camera screen. Mission accomplished......
