A Fisherman and His Son

While walking on the shores of Elliot's Beach in Chennai, this fisherman asked me if I would take the photo of him and his child. I loved the way he tenderly held his child - whom I presumed was a girl until I saw  a more frontal view.

Does look like a little girl, but maybe I'm just conditioned by the pink and the anklet. Lovely portrait....I try to go back or agree with the person to give/send them a photo....were you able to?

I do that sometimes as well. I actually have some that I printed this week for some of the flower sellers in the Georgetown region of Chennai. I'm sure this fisherman would love a photo of him and his... er boy.
