Dharavi is one of the world's largest slums and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The population is more than 1 million. The Dharavi slum was founded in 1884 during the British colonial era. Dharavi has an active informal economy. Leather, textiles and pottery products are among the goods made inside Dharavi. There is also an increasingly large recycling industry. (Wikipedia)

This is my last shot from Puerto Rico. I already did one of this coastline, but this one really shows off the colorful slums of La Perla.
Luckily, I won't have to go too long between photos of warm tropical places because I head to Mexico in less than a week! My parents are renting a condo, so we'll stay for free...a deal I couldn't pass up. Hopefully I'll get a few more seascapes on that trip than I did on this one.

Located across from the abandoned-now-being-rehabbed housing projects, this place has an eclectic mix of people (dogs allowed!) and some decent live music. Huge beer selection (my favorite on tap!!!)
I spent a bit of time working to make each apartment unit and the sheets of fabric look unique, so there would not be a very discernible pattern in the textures, colors, and motion. Then, while trying to add an atmospheric effect to emulate heavy pollution, I accidentally got this blurred effect, I found I quite liked it - though the effect does obliterate much of the detail I worked so hard to incorporate. Particularly ironic, since I spent a ton of time getting the fabric sheets to blow in the wind in a non-uniform way. Let me tell you, rendering a couple of hundred moving pieces of fabric on an image this size is no small chore, even on a relatively beefed up computer.
Still, I am glad for all the work, as I learned a couple of new techniques I can use down the road. I may even be able to reuse the apartment blocks again.
There are 78 apartment units between the two towers and about 546 fabric sheets - though you cannot see them all. Part of the process was to create 7 pieces of fabric hanging on the railing of each apartment, but with a material that not only had random hue, saturation and value, but with a randomized visibility. That was to save me the trouble of having to manually place each one so it looked random.

No matter how terrible life can be, there are colors to be found within the simple acts of life.

A settlement of Kuchis(nomads) in Parwan-e-Se in Kabul. This settlement has been already erased and people made to move somewhere else by the owner of land.
Kabul, Afghanistan, December 2010.
There are many children living in squat settlements, shanty towns and slums of Kabul. Most of them are deprived access to education, to food enough times a day, to safety of usual childhood. Many work or beg on streets trying to support family, gather garbage, get beaten, witness cruelty of war. In the Kabul slums 40% of them die before reaching their 5th birthday.
We walked all around the Dharvali slum in Mumbai meeting the people that lived and worked in this high density informal neighborhood. Almost everybody in the Slum was at work in many industries. We saw aluminum die casting, sewing, umbrella repair, suitcase manufacturing, plastic sorting, etc. The allies are only a few feet wide with water pipes and electrical wires squeezed in and ladders allowing access to the upper floors. This photo is the outside edge of the Slum showing sewage and waste water draining into the ditch. We felt very safe here other than the potential to get hit by a vehicle, fall in a hole or get poked with something sticking out of the wall.

One of the nicer homes in a grove of trees where lean-tos, huts and shacks (like the one here) are the rule. Photo taken along an unpaved and forgotten bog in Bangkok. Local poor don't like pompous journalists pointing the camera at their poverty. Don't blame them. I asked permission to photograph the dogs.

Without building permits, property taxes and all the uptown legalese that put names to faces and numbers to houses, bureaucrats and politicians had long ago turned a blind eye. No help was needed where nothing was seen. It's why early education systems in squatter slums everywhere are frequently built like a shotgun shack — illegally and from scratch.
The same reason why sewer lines and bus lines, garbage collection, paved roads, water and electricity are slow to arrive. Given the infrastructure of normal society, poor families could see themselves as lower-class normal. Then there are illusions of permanence. Then bricks and mortar. Illegitimate neighborhoods start to look legitimate, and those are the most difficult to evict, should the time ever come.

Kids in the Slum Aroma in Cebu City in the Philippines. Here the NGO German Doctors offers once a week free medical treatment to the poor people.
i met a future doctor in the slums! had an amazing second day touring around our new outreach center in this bizarre yet friendly underworld of alleyways and shanty towns. trash and raw sewage everywhere, it's an ecological nightmare. you see so much skin disease and tooth decay among the children. it can overwhelm you, but you just have to do what you can. you have to start somewhere.
