Photographer’s Note

Sudden meeting while walking in the lively streets of this beautiful town.

This image was taken twelve years ago but after travelling to India inside of you there is always something that suddenly will call you back, again and again...
That's why I am reading about now, search for some images, will watch a movie...
I'm feeling now the magic call, the call of India...

There is only one India: The land of dreams and romance ... A wonderland of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendor and rags. The one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien princess and peasants, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all rest of the globe combined ..."
Mark Twain

I'm feeling now the magic call, the call of India... and you are resident in another country..i feel like that sitting in india in a big city like calcutta..there are similar forces that is calling...it is strange..i too have tendencies to quit my job and cover india from kashmir to kanyakumari..

About the shot..there is such a dynamism to the BG beautifully balanced the frozen moment around the old man..that radio is his life..

tc Luca..

Le tue immagini dei popoli dei paesi del terzo mondo hanno come sempre una marcia in piu'. Non sono stucchevoli, come tanti qui su TE, che fanno immagini perfette ma che sembrano venire da una sala di posa, ma sono invece vivi. Il grandangolo qui entra dentro la scena, e il mosso la rende viva.
ciao Stefano
