This photograph depicts a young Rajasthani musician entertaining tourists outside India's Jodhpur Fort. Circumstances force many children in South and Southeast Asia into various forms of labor. While this form was rather benign, it's unlikely this boy will have the same educational opportunities as other children who aren't forced by needs of the family into positions of labor outside the home.


The original image was altered to take on the appearance of a muted, vintage photograph. Printed on textured fine-art paper, this 5x7-inch print was matted and framed within a black shadowbox. For a closeup view of the printed image, follow this link.
