Born to Sail
Posted by Nitin (Shanghai, China) on 28 January 2012 in People & Portrait.
"The difference between the possible and the impossible lies in a person's determination."
This was our boatman while we were at Shanshan dao. All of us got into a boat and went sailing across the lake. He was picture of focus and determination. For his age, and for the big beast he was handing - he was doing a great job.
Some people are able to go on way beyond their age. Some much earlier than that. Sometimes it's hard work, and sometimes it's bad luck. But one thing's for sure if you: if you want to make something happen, you can. Fortune favors the brave, as they say.
My teacher back in school always told me one thing, that I follow till date, "Silent sea maketh no good sailor!"

Such a person of character through your portraiture! His once handsome face is now weather-beaten and lined, glossy black hair now gone dull and grey... yet his eyes seem like saying,"I'll just hold on." This is striking a very deep chord! Bravo Nitin!

Amazing focus on this man, his posture, his coming forth in the image propels
him to being a very important person. The perfect angle for getting this incredible
portrait. One of your finest, Nitin.
