The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    I don't know Patti. I've seen my share of mothers with infants begging on the street and this shot doesn't say much more to me within that particular genre. I get how the men are oblivious to the woman's situation, but again sadly this is a tragic normalcy in so many cultures.

    Patti, I should make another attempt at this... The shot is good, well seen and executed. My initial reaction was most likely too heavily influenced by my travels over the years. I've probably become too inured to these scenes.

    I can understand that. Even in my brief weeks in India, I found myself becoming desensitized to the human condition surrounding me.
