Some of you may have seen this before.
Crawford Market. Long, long ago.
Shot with my Olympus OM-2n, and a fixed 50 mm lens.
I do remember making a post on Instagram, saying that my approach in street photography, is to capture the drama of the human life. Sometimes, I go the other way, and make everything abstract. However, in general, I like the play of raw emotion on the streets
For me his smile and eyes message different feelings…interesting image in that I find myself revisiting.
True… I find sadness as well
I see raw courage, gentle vulnerability, and unrelenting hope in spite of his circumstances, Rajiv. That’s a beautiful photo.

Thanks!! I am sure he has changed a lot since those days
I hope he has reached some of his goals.
Inshahallah
Inshahallah…
A genuine and beautiful smile!
I wonder if he still has it
Looks like…at least in pictures!
In pictures
The juxtaposition of joy and poverty is riveting and thought provoking. Excellent capture, Rajiv! My brain is weaving stories around this image.
Write one of those stories!
I will ponder this one.
