Photographer’s Note
This was one of the most unique recreations that i haver ever seen. This a potter from a village in India he is working on his furnance in this shot. This is not in his natural inhabitate. This image is taken at Calcutta which is completely urbanized. This man is in this artificially created village in the city of Calcutta. The village is created as a Stage for the Durga Puja.
This artifical village has a total of 10 houses (tatched mud houses) with families staying in them. The residents are actual villagers who have been relocated to Calcutta for the 3 month duration.
There is also a field in the center of this artifical village where they do farming to raise crops.
They are living their real natural life just in the middle of an artificial concept.
This entire creation has been done to make the city dweller more aware of the conditions and habitat of a village. The entire village is setup in the center of a concrete jungle.
It is a sight worth visiting.

nice but the subject is not really focused.. also colours are bit confusing. if its a burning oven or something that makes the reddish glow on the body of then man, then you have to show it also in the picture.
all the best
