Mr Anthony Gonsalves the musical genius from the Village of Majorda in Goa.
In Naresh Fernandes article Remembering Anthony Gonsalves from his website Taj Mahal Foxtrot; he talks of "Why Amithab Bachan jumped out of a giant Easter egg claiming to be the old man from Majorda".
The above photograph was the inspiration for my portraits of the maestro. As Naresh describes him "His speech was slow and his thoughts sometimes incoherent,...".
Unlike my usual portraits, where I coax the expression and pose out of my sitter within a few minutes, I had to be very patient to capture him in his right moods.
