Religious posters, Varanasi, India, 2008

There are thousands of deities in the Hindu pantheon and each of them generates dozens of tales. Some of those Gods and stories are depicted on posters sold on the streets of Varanasi. I used a wideangle lens to stress the quantity and diversity of subject matter here. The vendor quietly waits in semi-darkness, a subordinate figure to the colorful street display of Hindu iconography.
