The great mosque of the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri contains the tomb of Salim Chishti, a Sufi mystic. The keeper of the tomb was welcoming and very patient. In 1568, Chishti correctly predicted that the childless emperor Akbar the Great would become a father. Childless women still come to Chishti's tomb in search of a miracle, leaving small cotton threads on the screens that surround it. I did not see any women leaving threads here, but I was able to make this environmental portrait of the tomb keeper – a man who spiritually seemed very much at peace with himself. By photographing him in the half-light of the doorway, I show less of him, and thereby try to say more.
