Man and Life, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

While coming back from one of my shoots-i was commuting in a Local train. Vendors selling their products is a very common sight in our place and trains but he was different. It was evening and the moving landscape rushed passed us while he sat at the door,looking in the distant far - probably thinking of the coming future. I tried to capture the scene as i saw it,but i guess i missed on the philosophy part.

Hello Kountik.
I'm a fan of (your) photography.
You're recording emotions and states of mind.
Great, old school street / documentary photography.
This picture is an example of this.
Moment of passing, dynamics, emotions and subject - all in one. Congratulations!
Alex.

Namaste Kountik. He may be thinking about the meal his wife is preparing. i suppose that too is the coming future. Well caught with the blur of the countryside rushing past while inside everything is sharp and strongly defined. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Kountik

Busy train, though this particular scene feels very peaceful. As if the man is meditating. I like the reflection behind the man's back and the duality of man/bag with the pole in between.

a wonderful example of street photography. He is completely oblivious of you gazing out of the train deep in thought. B/w works well with less distraction than colour
