Always look on the bright side...

Always look on the bright side...
Despite our locked up at home status, we could be in a worse state. Like this chap I photographed non digitally in India in 2000. He spent 40 minutes like this with no sign of any breathing assistance....to earn about 3O cents in small coins. What I call, à super tough gig.

Keep well and cheerful!

An amazing photo Diana. How hard life must be for these people to perform like this for so little reward. I dread to think of the health problems he will have in later life. Well captured and I like the title. Stay safe and keep smiling.

Quel spectacle ! J'espère qu'il a reçu assez d'argent pour se nourrir et nourrir sa famille !L'Inde est vraiment un pays spécial ! La vie est vraiment dure pour les pauvres là bas. Je ne connais personne qui le ferait pour 30 centimes.
Bonne soirée

A shocking image although after 20 days of confinement I could be 50 minutes in that position in order to get out. Warm greetings, Anton
