My selection from the first day in Old Delhi.

It would be easy to show cliche images of life and death on these streets. But, I see my photographs as occasional frames from a silent movie, carefully removing the other frames of truth (I am not a documentary photographer). You can fill in the rest and imagine the noise, smells and dirt.

It's a strange yet beautiful place.

  1. Great set.
    I especially love the image of the man pushing his bike. The angle of his body, to me,personifies his life... battlling a daily gale of struggle and desperation.

  2. Nice work Julian.

    Interestingly, for me, the monochrome images support a kind of depressive poverty whereas the colour images don't seem to show that (although still powerful)... the power of monochrome I guess!

    I look forward to seeing more.
