Love fades. But companionship stays. That’s why, in the end, you always go to the person who gives you the most comfort.

I love this one!
Today’s Photojojo submission topic is “wheels”.
When studying abroad in India a few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting this man. At 85 years old, he spun beautiful pottery and oil lamps on this broken wagon wheel— which is perfectly balanced on a mound of dirt and pushed with a stick.
He’s the last of the clay spinners in the village, and no one had stepped up to be his apprentice when we visited.
I took this photo in 2008 outside of Anukkuvar Village, Cheyyar, Tamil Nadu, India.
