Taken at Sydney's most famous craft market. This man has had a stall for many years right near the main street entrance of this Saturday market. All the items he sells are from India.
This is not a true candid shot, as I approached him and asked him if I could take some photos. The rhythm he was tapping out so skillfully on that vase sounded typically Indian, and made me imagine that he must be an accomplished tabla player.
Thanks for visiting my pages. I really do appreciate every comment made, and always return the favour.

Nicely captured, Andrew! For some reason, like the sun shining on this guy's face...it is what adds to the success of this photo! Nice...
