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 .....
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?)
Always love your monochromes!! Superb!
ReplyDeleteTruly classic!
ReplyDeletebelle composition en b&w
ReplyDeletea bit too exposed on upper part but I think that is adding the value

It is really amazing that you go to all these places to click pictures.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up !
excellent b&w. he seems to have broken his arm which turns this fine image into a story.
ReplyDeleteAmazing .
ReplyDeleteI 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! :-)
ReplyDeletenice take :)
ReplyDeletelove the perspective.
ReplyDeleteYour series of shots from the Ballard Estate look wonderful. I really have enjoyed seeing the stunning buildings on show over the past few weeks!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
