Tough Deal

Posted by Shutterbug (Chennai, India) on 24 September 2007 in People & Portrait.

This chap had lost his thatched house a week after the tsunami, in Sirgazhi coastal village, Nagapattinam district in Tamil Nadu.
But it was not so much that, as the abject poverty that he has obviously been living with for years that held me.

An inadequate word of thanks for everyone who is kind enough to see my pics and leave comments here! Keep them coming, is all I can say!
