The Balinese Bearer by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Every touristic attraction on Earth has its own Crowd Artists. The man on this photo is such an example. You can meet him almost every day when exploring Rice Fields Terraces in Bali. As a professional Crowd Artist he can pose for you for some extra donations meeting your postcards pictures expectations. You can find the same roles played in Kathmandu by local Sadus or in Papua New Guinea the famous Papuan with task and gourd.
