Fortune Teller

Whenever a customer sits down, this fortune teller would bring out his pet parrot from the cage and let it walk around the table to peck at a card. That card will determine the fate of the customer. All very serious business.

There is an old world charm about this sage man, his bird that predicts the future and the oracles hanging on the aged patina wall. Like one of the characters from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novels.

Great story and very nice shot. Looks like he positioned all the pictures to look like they are comming out of the parrot cage. Subliminal advertising

Well framed. I love the clutter on the wall against his simple white clothes. The story really elevates it but I think it's a great photo all by itself.
