Bygone Era, a photo from Dubai, West

Photographer's Note

This is an old arab man (same man that I posted before) He works in the Souk Naif area of Dubai. This is his "shop". I could not tell exactly what the purpose of it was or what he was selling...perhaps it serves more as "therapy" for him!
I changed this to greyscale in PS and sharpened it a little.

Great environmental portrait Dana. The BW is very effective in this shot. Well taken

Very nice shot with a lot of interesting details, yes the B&W here is the right choice and the man by itself is an interesting object!

Might he be a Tinker? Mending pots and pans and such. Los of details to spot and look over
Very kipling feel to this, despite not being in India :)
Good shot

Dana-I REALLY like the photo's you are posting...I hope you post some of them in color because although I LOVE b/w, would love to see how the "real" photo looks like in color :o) You are lucky to be living where you are and have access to sights such as these...take as many photo's as you can ;o)
