Photography’s new conscience
As i walked alone for a few kms outside Delhi
on the RAILROAD TRACKS/aka the TOILET
with 2 Nikons dangling around my neck
midday along the tracks, i was again amazed by INDIA's impoverished living.
Later i thought how insane i must be, risking my safety
my cameras.......
all i got were smiles, waves and no one approached.

and then is paid one dollar.
