Haves and have nots
My recent BPC Shoot outing to City Market, Bangalore, left me with a bag full of mixed feelings. On one hand, I got a chance to see and photograph street and market - as it is, got a chance to meet some like minded folks; but on the other I felt somewhat guilty of projecting the life spent by people living in abject conditions through my work.
There were occasions when I saw hope and smile on these people, which kind of meant (to me), they know what conditions they live in, but they are not sad about it. But on other, I saw haggards barely able to walk on roads; street dwellers sleeping; children selling flowers - reminding me of how oblivion we have become of their existence.
Over the next few days, I would post some of the moments which were captured at the City Market and which left me with these feelings.
Right now I am clueless as in what to do, what can I do to contribute back to the society; but I am sure, I would do something!
This shot belongs to former occasion of - hope and smile.
We all belong to the Haves category, but it was a pleasure to see a smile on this fellow, who belonged to the have nots category.
Slightly cropped from top, to give this cinemascope effect. Used Sepia with 30% opacity and slight vignetting for the effect.
