    «They have nothing… yet give so much!» One early morning in Delhi, it was really cold, and a few homeless men were sitting around a fire – they ended up sharing not only warmth, but also their contagious joyful smiles with better off people who had no heating in their homes and were gathering around the fire with them. Quickly the circle grew larger, and I thought it was such an irony, that those with the least had and shared something that others needed and lacked: the luxury of a warm fire. by: homeless Views[329] «Think Twice» When I saw this woman begging, and the light of her beautiful smile, I wondered who really was the “giver”: me, looking at her from my world, or her, down there, asking for a few coins? At that very moment, I could not help but remember the lyrics of that song, “Think Twice… another day in paradise”, and while giving to one, feeling uneasy at the thought of not being able to give to all. To me, this picture was the perfect illustration to the song. by: homeless Views[660] «Time Warp» It was a sunny afternoon. This homeless woman was walking through, yet beyond our world, untouched and untouchable, an outcast and a goddess at the same moment. Time seemed to stand still for her and the child she carried, she seemed so used to the fact that our world swirls past her, ignoring her. I wanted to find a way to capture how I saw her, I felt she really stood out, so I decided to try a creative use of slow sync, normally used at night. by: homeless Views[867] «Human or beast?» All are equal here – humans and animals! Nothing new, you might say? Can it be that our sensitivity and our very humanity have disappeared? Have we really given up in the face of such tragedy? Though a common sight, to me, this picture was nonetheless striking, to the point, in conveying its message: too many people have no choice but to live off of other people’s trash, just like animals, and photographers should not give up on showing the real world. by: homeless Views[378] «The Gates – a divide between 2 worlds.» In large Indian cities such as Delhi, homeless people are kept out of neighborhoods where only a lucky few live, separated from the outside world by gates – to me these are a powerful symbol of the divide between worlds, and it’s what I tried to show . As outcasts, they live their lives near this border of sorts, generally ignored by all. by: homeless Views[344]

    As a little child, my only access to National Geographic - my father would read it with delight! - was through the photographs: their universal language provided a fabulous open window to the world. My longing for exploration made me a scientist, but ... Read more >
