This almost surreal image expresses the raw and strikingly incongruous nature of Bombay. I made it from the window of our slowly moving tour bus. A man on a seemingly overloaded bicycle initially drew my interest – he seems to balance those massive, bulging sacks without a trace of effort. Because our bus was caught in traffic, we were moving as slowly as this bike, allowing me to photograph him for several minutes. Suddenly we drew abreast of a street person at rest. He sits within a broken curb and leans upon a rusting fence as he looks up at our passing tourist bus. Behind him, a child screams from a poster for a Bollywood horror film. A crumbling structure provides an appropriate background for this homeless man and the screaming child, while the man carrying the bulging sacks on the back of his bicycle pays no heed to any of it.
