Indian and other ethnic foods are really popular here in Berlin and for good reasons. Most of the restaurants are privately own by immigrants from various countries. The food is authentic and delicious. After one of our class excursions we ate at Yogi Ashram Indian restaurant. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the bright colors of the place. The kitchen as you can see was open and the aromas filled the entire restaurant. This was around the time that we were discussing possible project topics and I was leaning towards workers in Berlin. After looking around and seeing a possible picture I knew I had a topic. I waited until our group was there for a while and the owners were comfortable with us before I asked if I could take their picture. I talked with the guy on the left and our server but everyone was willing to help. I took many pictures of the man on the left but I prefer the group picture. Each one is a different distance from the camera and is engaged in a different activity but all work together as one. By the way they are all standing you can tell that they are pretty comfortable with being photographed.
I framed the picture with the two men on both sides and the wine glasses in the upper left corner. I also tried to capture the sign above the entrance way of the kitchen. The light it coming from the back of the room and highlights the man's face up front. I never had a chance to go back to this restaurant because of time restraints but this picture really captures the feeling that I felt that night in the restaurant.
