Madras, India.  I took a walk down to the river, and saw a mother and her children washing their clothig.

New York, New York.  Taken on the Q from Avenue J to Times Square.

Valparaíso, Chile.  This chilean boy from Santiago came to visit Valparaíso for the weekend.  It was his first time riding one of the diagonal elevators.  With immense curiosity, he couldn’t keep his eyes from staring out the window the entire ride.

Chennai, India. This child was sitting in his stairwell eating dinner. He used a palm leaf as a plate which is common in this area. For these meals, utensils are not utilized — only hands. I actually find eating with my hands much more enjoyable than using utensils. There is a tactile sensation that is lost with a fork and knife and this sensation adds a completely new dimension to the eating experience.

Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan. Two girls shopping.

Paris, France. Disinterested and unaffected workers returning home at the end of the day.

Devlali, India. At this stop, a mother and daughter race to board the train headed to Bombay. Unfortunately, as usual, the train has begun to move while passengers are still boarding.

Luang Prahbang, Laos. Monks wake up early to take offerings from village residents, since they are not permitted to purchase food.

Coney Island, New York. I saw this woman and asked if I could take her picture. She saw my holga and said she’d been shooting with hers for years now. It was her favorite camera, too.
