~ slow day ~, a photo from Gandaki, West

Photographer's Note

A quick snapshot of street life in Ganesh Tol, Old Pokhara, I think this teashop man was bored out of his brain sitting out there without any customer. I was very surprised by the laidback-ness of this peaceful place that I could lift my eyes to the skies and see the Himalayan peaks....

Life summed up, the very personification of pure boredom! and rules are made to be broken sometimes..

Hi Abmdsudi
Boredom personified, but a great image. Colours and lighting very good. I dare say he sprang into action with a great smile when customers appeared.

Hello abmdsudi,

I really like the relaxed atmosphere of this photo. The light clothes of the subject and the fact that the photo obeys the rule of thirds also enhances the composition.

Best Wishes,
Gy

Hi Abmdsudi
Many times I observed men of this age in Nepal, just sitting and having a relaxing time. I even posted one or two similar photos. I bet they know something we don't know and they can't understand why we keep rushing about and doing things.
Great shot, light-coloured clothes of the main subject stand out nicely on the dark background and the off-centre composition is really eye-catching.
Best wishes
Kasia

Ciao Abmdsudi

An excellent daily life scene with the man at right counterbalancing the chair and calendar at left. I miss the Nepalese tea with cinnamon. Tfs!
