The chai-wallah serves steaming tea, the dhobi-wallah collects laundry, the rickshaw-wallah takes you where you want to go and this iron-wallah almost burned the pants he was working on - he was so focused on posing for the portrait. The multitude of followers surrounding us were yelling at him to move the iron.
This iron is heated with hot coals - you can see them nestled in the oval chamber. The photo was taken at Sikandarpur Market where all business, including ironing is done in the street.
If you'd like to see a couple more images of people in this street market check out my new photographer's blog - that will be linked to my website when I get that up and running. click here: Lighting at the End of the Tunnel
