Bone collector, Kolkata.
This man is a bone collector. He was going about the business of collecting discarded bones from the butchers’ stalls and putting them in a bag. People laughed when I asked him if I could take his photograph. I imagine his status must be very low in the market. Their laughter stopped when I gave him some money for his time and patience (people have so little, I feel it is only fair to give them something in return for their photograph).
The S. S. Hogg Market in Kolkata is a large cavernous brick building. It was built 130 years ago by the English. Usually it is a bee hive of activity, but on a Sunday it is very quiet and you even have the luxury of being able to use a tripod.
