    I think he must be selling 100 copies per day , 1500 INR and out of that profit of around 700 INR
    Should be good enough to meet both ends ,

    looks like the photographer's version of the street musician. you have, beyond taking a photo, shown much depth in his face....he's weary and stressed....hoping for the next customer.

    Great shot because of that

    Wow it definitely is another world Harshad. Hard to believe he can make a living at such a price. Many thanks for sharing this with us and he will certainly be in my thoughts today !!!

    Very good image with a lot of emotion attached. Here is a business man trying to make a living using new technology. Only partially showing the people n the BG is a cool way to link them to the photographer without making them part of the subject. It does make yo think about his life.

    Great shot Harshad. I think the printer he has may be the Pogo, by Kodak. I have heard of other photographers who use it to give prints of people they take pictures of, rather than a small stipend. Think it runs on two AA batteries.
