Oh! Calcutta 3 Photo

Photographer’s Note

Men at work
Taken at a government housing complex in South Calcutta. Whenever I visited Calcutta I stayed with a friend of mine at his in a government housing complex. This afternoon as I was being lazy and looking for something to shoot from the balcony of his apartment I spotted these men across the street. They were replacing the sewer pipes in this aging building hanging precariously from the bamboo scaffolding.
Sorry about the quality of light due to a very grumpy sky.

Hello my friend Pranab!
I like your American photos, but I like your Indian photos even more for their presentation of common people life...
Greetings!

Hello Pranab,
Good shot of the action. Comparing the western way of construction and safety, in India the guys are fearless :)
This is a right example.

Hi Pranab
It is a document how people risk their life during the work and how shouldn`t work. Nice and interesting capture.

Very interesting series from Calcutta, Pranab.
I like the many vertical lines here, and the very natural looking colour. The framework on which those blokes are working looks quite perilous in construction. Great daily life shot.
Regards,
Andrew
