This Old man from Rajasthian, Mid-West India was clicked curious at the Haryana Heritage Festival at Yadvindra Gardens Pinjore, Haryana North India.
He was staring at us (the CFC group members) clicking photos when I noticed him.
I requested for a picture to which his eyes nodded; CLICK.
Before the shot, I had decided to shoot only half the face or the eyes but then everyone shoots like that, I personally wanted to present a diffrent frame so clicked more than what was needed and here it is - just as it was shot + crisp and saturated.
Please excuse the size, I lost the original photo :(
Suggestions/Critics Invited
I am not a skeptic in this question, moreover, due to the recent events that we are witnessing, it seems that they have long been among us.
Expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley at home in London with his oil painting of Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne, just before the work of art was collected for packing, crating and shipping to the USA.
Yesterday the painting arrived at the Duchesne Academy of The Sacred Heart in Houston Texas, USA - which commissioned the work for there permanent collection.
Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne (29 August 1769-18 November 1852) was a French missionary who emigrated to the United States in 1818 inspired by her need to help and educate the American Native Indians; in Missouri and Kansas.
She was beatified in 1940 and canonised in 1988 and is Patron Saint of Perseverance amid Adversity.
Other Catholic education establishments which own the artist's paintings include The Carrollton School of The Sacred Heart, Miami, USA; The Institute of Marist Brothers, Canada; Newman University, Birmingham (UK) and Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic College in Sydney, Australia.
