wear a helmet….sometimes.  Not to mention that it’s in the craziest traffic and among the craziest driver etiquette I’ve ever seen in my life.  Also, I’ve seen much younger children riding up front.  This family was so excited when I pointed my camera at them that they posed for me for several blocks.</p>http://leahmoriyama.tumblr.com/post/49198479394http://leahmoriyama.tumblr.com/post/49198479394Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:10:00 -0400leahmoriyamaphotographymumbaiindiatraveldocumentarystreet

intense smells, sadly, when you stop, there are usually people that approach the car and tap on your window asking for money for food. Sometimes it’s children.  Sometimes it’s a mother with children.  This was my first time experiencing this.  The lovely women with her beautiful children came up to the car and put her face right up to the window and stared in at me.  She tapped the glass and made eating gestures with her hands while asking for money from me, in words that I could not understand.  The whole time, she held a beautiful baby in her arms that peered in at me with big gorgeous eyes.  It was very difficult for me.  When I looked over at James not knowing what to say, he shook his head.  He knew I wanted to give them something even though I know and have been told that I am to do no such thing.  I looked into their eyes and even though I would mouth “no, sorry” to them, they continued to smile and ask.  There was an amazing picture there, right in front of me but I couldn’t take it.  I felt like I was stealing it from them.  Not even just because I didn’t give them money, but because I would have this prize of a beautiful picture while they have nothing.  These are not the best pictures that I could have gotten, but I feel that I learned so many things by taking them.  There really are some fine lines when it comes to trying to document something like this.  You have to be able to strong and get in there and get the photo you need to get to express that thing you need say, without making someone feel oppressed or uncomfortable.  I thought of one of my favorite photographers, James Nachtwey…</p>http://leahmoriyama.tumblr.com/post/49115048781http://leahmoriyama.tumblr.com/post/49115048781Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:33:00 -0400leahmoriyamaphotographystreet photographydocumentarymumbaiindiatravel<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/47c77c535b248375828339afbfe8208c/tumblr_mlzbxgR9rn1qc3ncbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I kind of really like shooting from the car.  The only problem is that I really don’t want to roll down the window…</p>http://leahmoriyama.tumblr.com/post/49113123737http://leahmoriyama.tumblr.com/post/49113123737Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:10:00 -0400leahmoriyamaphotographymumbaiindiatraveldocumentarystreet photography
