  3. Underdressed,
    with a torn shirt
    and
    oversize halfpants,
    hair bleached
    courtesy
    effluents in the stolen water,
    he travels
    without ticket
    on the Central Railway,
    dodging folks
    at VT,
    escaping on the side,
    a Pssst way
    of "living"
    as a homeless
    glue sniffing
    wandering child.

    Spies the big building,
    slips down
    from the branches
    and
    he postures
    like some of the statues
    he has seen
    in the big city.

    Someone has clicked him.

    His day is made.

    Waise,
    there isn't
    any color in his life,
    anyway .....

  4. It's so disconcerting, a picture like this! This is Mumbai! What a wonderfully inappropriate statue!

    I've never been to India (I've hardly been out of England and Scotland!) but I think of it as a place full of colour. It would be fascinating to know how you feel about black and white photography - how it changes your emotional response to what you see. (Or is that inexpressible?)

  6. excellent b&w. he seems to have broken his arm which turns this fine image into a story.

  7. I really like these! In the top shot, the guy obviously has no clothes; but in the bottom shot it looks like that guy has no head! :-)

  8. Your series of shots from the Ballard Estate look wonderful. I really have enjoyed seeing the stunning buildings on show over the past few weeks!

  9. What are the chances that sculpture could come to life and jump down to the street? And what would happen to the people who saw such a thing? Yikes!
