A caring store owner
Ajmer, Rajasthan, India
Walking around the market place in India this is one of the stores that caught my eye, it felt like this shopkeeper took so much care and paid attention to ascetics that I was driven to snapp a shot.

He keeps a tidy shop.
He sure does, thanks for stopping by.
He does look a bit of a neat-nik! Good choice
LOL….!!! Yes would agree.
Gorgeous
And he kept it real, not looking at the camera.
There’s something very pleasing about the rich colours contained in those shiny glass jars.
I think those are candy in the jars. Ajmer is a great place to visit. I had one of the best yogurt drinks at this city, it is called ‘lassie’ and they served it in small little clay pot.
what an amazing ambience here, filled with contrast – the cheerful colours, and the serious shop keeper…
He really played in with the camera to make it a successful picture.
Thanks for visiting.
I miss seeing shops like this. That is a great capture, great composition!
Takes us back in time, doesn’t it!!!
don’t they still have them?
Yes they do, but you have to travel to small towns in places like India to find them. I really hope they stay.
Yeah…I hope they stay. I can’t imagine them disappearing anytime soon. And hey, if I have to travel to India to shoot one, dang the luck!
Maybe it’s the angle, but the way it looks from here, the entry is very narrow. Lucky most Indians I met were slim by nature 🙂
Loved the colors.
What I feel is, when they commence business they bring out all their displays and place them in front, with the shopkeeper inside, with a very small space to enter and exit, which I think they minimize.
Another thing is, there is no such thing as government or zoning specs like we have over in the U.S. For small stores like this they just invest the little they have and they open a store.
Thank you for explaining 🙂 I didn’t know that. In a way it sounds like a much simpler life there…
Yes life is much more straight forward, but there is too much corruption from the ground up…. Cops, government officials can be easily bribed. Let me put it to you this way, even the corruption is straight forward.
Well, anything human-related has a down side, and what you said not only makes sense but could also be expected. That’s life, the good and the bad always go together.
Wow, it looks like it has been painted, how the colours just gently merge with one another!
Thank you for your comments. I do agree this is a fascinating picture. There is much intrigue to this shot. And since I liked it, I shoot it and posted it.
Perfect moment in time. Love the colours as always, they tell their own story in your pictures. Thank you for taking me to this place, I can sense the scent and sounds from this natural shot.
Thank you so very much!!!
Great shot!
Thank you so very much!!
