A Man from Pune by Ryszard Wierzbicki

This is another portrait I made during my trip to India, from the state of Maharastra, in Pune. I had a change to meet people with variety of faces. They were very friendly and cooperative. There, I made many portraits with a lot of photographic experience for me. India is a wonderful destination for Photographers of all kind.
