Hey All
Another picture from our second day. This old(er) man makes baskets as you can see on the background. The whole street was full of basket sellers. This one was very happy when I came to take a picture of him and you must admit he looks very cute ;)
But he doesn't know how to dress properly... just take a close look and you will see something funny ;) and no I didn't crop it off cause that's the way this man lives...
Well have a great weekend.
David

Hi David, happy new year to you and yours.
What a lovely portrait of this happy gentleman, perfect lighting.
Cheers,
Pete.

Okay David, ik geef het op - ik zie niet wat je bedoelt - misschien als ik zo nog eens kijk?...

Hoe dan ook een fijn portret en het beroep laat zich wel raden.

This photo and title reminds me of the street that I used to live as a young boy, where similar basket makers doing handcraft work each day.

They are usually very patient sitting there all day, quietly doing what they are good at. Now this craft is slowly dying. Nice shot. TFS
