See more of my India Series here This man owned this flower shop in the markets in Mumbai, India. If you make eye contact with him he will lure you into his shop and before you know it you are walking out with a bunch of flowers that you paid half of what they are worth but twice as much as a local. / This stall gave me a feeling of happiness and joy in the midst of the social turmoil around it. He was very willing for me to take his picture but unlike the vegetable seller, thought it more appropriate to show his serious face. Part of a series with:
Nostalgia, Flora Fountain, Mumbai, India Mumbai (Bombay, until a few years ago) is a city that has many old buildings and structures. Some of these are in a well known locality called “Flora Fountain” (recently renamed “Hutatma Chowk”). It has some very pretty old buildings (19th century British India). This picture is a coloured outline (converted from an actual photograph) of the fountain in the foreground and some of the old buildings in the background. To my mind this outline better brought out the beauty of the photograph. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
