Sorrow and Benevolence



An old portrait having been hiding on my hard disk...

Born To be Wild II.




A tribal boy from a slum, near Mumbai.

I was taking pictures in a slum, when her father brought her in front of my lens. Apparently she did not like it... Generally children in slums (or probably wherever) are bit suspicious and the same time curious at the first sight. Well, she is just the former...

at Low-tide


These small children are playing on the seashore when the water retreats to low tide. Meanwhile, their parents collect the dinner of the family. The women are gathering sea shells from rocks, and the men are fishing crayfish, a bit further deep in the sea.

Purity




What terrifying and wonderful things those eyes will witness in the next few decades!? Before they go blank...

Laborer Child



Technically this is not a high quality photo, but emotionally very close to me; It is my very first picture in India. Brunch of people were working, making bricks by hand. Whole families were working there, every member , from the youngest to the oldest one, having its own task. I was very excited when approaching them, because I did not know how people would react here for the camera. I was so nervous that even mis-measured the light, so the photo turned out to be overexposed. And then I got this present: his smile. He was happily accepting me and the camera, just as his father. This is where all my Indian photography story started... I remember them with good heart.
