Description
Through the dirty roads of life
I try to get to you
Carrying the heavy load of poverty
I try to get to you
One little step after another
I try to get to you
On the road to nowhere
I try to get to you
***
New Delhi streets, India.
Taken with Film 800Iso
Sigma 70-300mm
If I remeber correctly it was Aperture F22, and I have no Idea what was the shutter speed.
That what happens when using film...

Strangely enough it made me homesick :S I'm really messed up up here (points at head).
What i really loved is the bag seems to be aflame! .. or is it? i hope not 'cause that means
that im REALLY going blind...

what makes this photo truly amazing is that amidst all the dark shades of poverty outlined in both the poem and the actual image, there is a flash of colour; and to me, that bright yellow symbolizes hope.

A beautiful photo, sad really, but beautiful. I love the way you captured such emotion, the description works so well. Its sad what poverty can do.

Ooooh - this is a real beauty, even if the subject or theme of the photo is so unfortunate - but then life is such a place of unegual opportunity. i keep looking and looking at the wonderfull composure of the picture, the overall greyish-greenish colouring... and suddenly the yellow bag just pops up. The colours are just wonderfull
And I keep thinking how on earth did you manage to turn a 800 ISO conventional shot on film into a perfectly balanced picture .... no that's not what I wonder. Naturally you can turn that into a picture. I'm really wondering how did you manage to digitalize it, so that it looks as good as it does on a PC screen. I'll keep looking for an answer to this buzzling question for peronal reasons. Meanwhile I'll continue following up your good work.

talk about pushing sh_T uphill. Man that is a heavy load! Excellent photo.... still can't figure out the difference between lenses, f-stops and all.

Amazing! I could look at this for a long time. The picture is perfect and the colors are spectacular! At first it was hard to tell what I was looking at, I like that kind of challenge. See I look at the picture first before reading the artist's comment.

I like your photos and......
Like them the more cause there is a concept.
Art is about commucication for me
no matter if it's about music or visual.
To be gicen some thought's or means to make ones own.
I like much in this one.
But aomehow it feels a tad overcrowde
But I like it anyway.
