[Leica] People of Triplicane

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

Just lovely, all of them. I love your portraits of your city and country.

Of these images, the first one, the day labourers, is the strongest for me. 
I don't know if it is the excellence of the photograph (and it IS excellent) 
or the overall social context of the image. Most likely a combination.

Cheers,
Nathan
