Bawa Guru
by Elisabeth
Bawa guru calls himself a sadhu. He never married, never worked, spend his day playing the "little horse" game, goes to pilgrimage places cause he knows he'll get good food! Very materialistic in fact, you won't learn much sitting with him. Nevertheless, one can see in his eyes he is a nice peaceful man, and quite photogenic! Here we are in Ramnagar, the village where I live near Benares. He is one of my neighbours!
Equipment: Canon EOS 350D

I'm a doctor in sociology working on the influence of hinduism in hindu society. Photography helps my work in many ways, specially because the things I'm talking about are unknown in western culture. I spend most of my time in India, and a few months every year in Paris.

The backlight is harsh. You could have moved a bit to your left.
Such Sadhus are an extremely common sight in India.
