I watched the gestures of this old artist, every morning just after sunrise, on the road to the port of Dhaka. A shoemaker who, for a few coins, patches the thousands of old shoes worn on the hot asphalt of the old capital. I waited until a smile gave me the permission to photograph his gentle eyes and these amazing hands. Hands of a man who has worked hard for a lifetime, under the rain, on the shadow of the monsoon, in the cold and in the scorching heat.
