Took this candid shot of a gardner when on the trip to Goa, India. He had this intense gaze - almost scary if seen in the dark coming out of the bushes.<br />
While he took care of the garden, he was also handling the silk farm.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Portfolio/Portraits-People/i-QrHqNqH/2/a318baf4/Ti/DSC_2695_8x12-Ti.jpg)

on June 2, 2010You are very kind. :) This a group from Bhubaneshwar, Orissa and I have met them a couple of times at Suraj Kund Mela in Haryana. So we now know each other and I also met the key person in their group when I went to Orissa for the Konark Dance & Music Festival. That helps to put them at ease, rest is also luck with the light and the dynamics (as they are between dance performances) and with huge crowds behind me watching them (so it a bit discomforting and distracting for them).

on January 28, 2009Beautifully done. Everything fits, no distractions. Good work.
Thanks for comments on some of Anya's pics. She's Eastern European, to me it shows, a look I love to shoot.
Your comment's well taken regarding DOF on the stairs shot. Unfortunately, my hand-held on-the-fly Zuiko maxes at f/2.8, and I shoot from no more than a few feet away to get the perspectives I want, so I often feel wanting of bokeh I just can't have. I have an equiv 100mm f/2.0, but puts me too far away for this type of shooting, and with all the shoe leather we burn, I don't carry additional lenses (although in 4/3 format, the equiv 100mm f/2.0 is a very small package, so considering fitting it in starting next summer, we'll see).
