On the street in Kolkata. The two on the right were very anxious to make me pay for this photo, even though they had nothing to do with the others. I walked on.
Nikon D7000
FEATURED in “Street Photography & Photojournalism” Feb. 2012 FEATURED in “A Street Story” March 2012
A superb shot and image Val! So much activity in the one scene and excellent tonal range to set it off, as well as the natural framing around the edges! One of your best!
You’re the best, Bruce! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment! :-) val
Your story, and the body language of the boy on the right, remind me of people I met (young boys, mostly) in various places (Yemen, Southern Turkey, Pakistan) who just kept trying to get themselves in the picture – literally. They picked the wrong victim: I always have more patience than they do. :)
Too funny! That’s actually a woman! lol! They can look less polished on the street…Thanks so much, Marjolein! :-)
simply fantastic…this is a photo that I could sit and look at for ages…so many things happening, so many stiries, the clarity and septh, you can see clearly all the faces at the back, their expressions, their lifes…love it! :-)
Oops. I thought it was a boy… But it being a woman, could that actually be the reason they were demanding payment? Thinking you were singling her out? All the other people seem to be men (to me, at least ;)).
Honestly, it’s different on the street in India. The poor just want to cash in on foreigners any chance they can… :-(
