Gridlock on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, India, 2008

India's 1.13 billion people tax its highway system, particularly those leading out of Delhi, its capital city. India's highway system is relatively undeveloped for a country holding one sixth of the world's population. India will overtake China by 2030 to become the world's most populated country. I used a 350mm telephoto focal length, and shot through the front window of our tour bus. My lens acts as a telescope, compressing the space between the cars, truck and bus as if they were inches apart. I make the traffic jam seem even tighter than it really is.
