Mango Man

Mango Man

My wife spotted an advertisement for a phototour and thought I might be interesting in taking part. Well, it was amazingly rewarding, on several levels. While on the tour (aka photowalk), we strolled about in old Chinatown in a neighborhood of north Jakarta, Indonesia known as Pasar Glodok. It was really bright out (and hot), and I was not too pleased with what the harsh light was doing to everything around me. Not at all the ideal lighting situation for good photography. I really lucked out when I ducked in this narrow alley way and ran into this distinguished gentleman, trying to sell his mangos to passersby and trying to stay cooin the shade of the buildings on either side.
