[Leica] Koyambedu

[Douglas Barry]

Some great portraits there which must be seen large, Jayanand. A good 
lens indeed.

I appreciate what a tough life those men have. It's shown well in the 
"Bananas" image. In most of the west, we get our bananas from 
supermarkets nicely wrapped in plastic, labelled Organic with cheery 
faces smiling at us, and have little comprehension of the labour that 
goes in to producing them. Perhaps those pictured are those self same 
bananas that are currently hanging in my house?
