Photographer’s Note
Street life in Peshawar, Pakistan is quite lively even at six in the morning. Here a boy prepares tea in a samovar-like device, the steam rising visibly in the morning air. Teapots and cups are arrayed on shelves under a tent-like canopy, all creating a home-like atmosphere for passers-by.
Photogravure etching, printed with Burnt Umber ink on Somerset etching paper.

It looks fantastic as an image. Timeless, but dated looking thanks to the technique. These are fascinating shots that you are posting. Quite refreshing to see such a style being kept alive. Hats off.
I like:
-Atmosphere is fantastic
-Poses of the characters in this
I don't like
-Just the composition. I think the bottom is too cropped. On purpose?
