Nickson: Very nice colors! Is the whole town violet?
Akul: Yes, it is small and light and very sharp without any aberrations. The only drawback is the small max aperture. Film was Fuji Pro 160S, a soft contrast film. I think I brought out too much grain in PP trying to make it look like a normal contrast film.
Phil: Amazing portraits. Just wondering how do you convince people to pose for you. I am too shy but would love to be able to take portraits of strangers.
Thanks edwardkaraa - The guys in the textile shops are Afghani, the porters are Pakistani and the last guy is Emirati. All of these nationalities are very approachable and they lead a parallel life to most Western expats, so are very welcoming when you take an interest in them. Returning every now and then with a print helps a lot too!

Thanks for the tips, Phil! That last shot at Art Dubai is outstanding!
Thanks Akul and Edwar
I think you guys are the only ones who saw my picture.
I guess either you have to post more than one shot here or maybe people have hit the hide button on me.

Yeah, I think you have to post at least 5-10 large sized pictures. You can't go unnoticed like that
