Great shot Graham, as usual. This photo really tells a story.

Good title for a movie. Good setting for it as well. Your shots seem to do a good job of capturing the lack of glamour without giving an impression of seediness. Life seems to tick away happily without the glamorous trappings of western civilisation.

A India can be very grubby and grimy, Delhi is the most polluted city in the world, but it never felt seedy. The vibrancy of the people lifts India.

I think that's what you've succeeded in focusing on.

I think you found the photograph in this chaos. RG nailed it when he commented on your "capturing the lack of glamour without giving an impression of seediness". This is what I love about your images Graham. They lend warmth and dignity to the people in them. I see industrious hard working people in a place that seems chaotic beyond words. I love that you have presented these in colour. I wonder if all the bright colours help them feel a little less gloomy about the conditions they live and work in.

Other than being well composed and sharp, it really tells the story of life in front of the Drunkyard Cafe.

This is a great photo, Graham.
How close were you to the guy peddling the bike and how fast did you have to jump out of the way?
I can imagine you taking this photo.
