Photographer’s Note
This was taken in Pushkar, India. I believe this man is called a Sadhu, which is a Hindu ascetic or a monk The Sadhu tradition has a long history. It consists of renouncing worldly ties in pursuit of higher values of life. Ideally a Sadhu lives in the society but is detached from its pleasures and pains. I hope you enjoy =). Feel free to leave any comments or workshops :)

Hi Chris,
Like your other critiques, I like the note and the colors, but I found the background a little distracting. I saw your request for a WS, and decided to alter the background.
