I was drawn to this old man at Srirangapatna by the florescent-pink tilak on his forehead. I vaguely remember paying him for this portrait, but it could be a false memory.

What do you tell people when they pose for you?

Now that I think about it, I think it is the camera that does the talking. When you lift a big SLR with a conspicuous lens to your eyes, your intent is very evident. That and may be an awkward "dumb charade" gesture for "I want to take your picture" :-). I usually find people very approachable so I get away without saying much.
