Mitch,

Great perspective. Any thoughts on shooting the scene in color? Green against the concrete, steel, and glass might add some contrast.

Thanks Steve, I'll definitely be back up there when it gets a little warmer, and a little greener, to shoot some color. Right now it's not much more colorful than that Acros shot I posted. I had actually used my last few sheets of Ektar earlier that day or I'd definitely shot a few in color as well.

Not bad, but try to get 4 mil for it!

as a graphic document, this one is horrible.

This work is from my ongoing project to document issues related to informal development in the world's major cities. This particular area was created as a place to house families evicted from their squatter homes along railways in Mumbai. The problem is it's far from the city center and therefore people living there are somewhat marginalized. Now squatter are occupying the spaces between the resettlement project buildings, making for something of a nightmare situation. Occasionally, as in this photo, officials demolish swaths of homes. But they're rebuilt almost as fast.

Here are some of the resettlement projects:



And the inside of a home that was rebuilt the day after it was demolished, though obviously it's just temporary until they can rebuild it stronger. This one is home to seven people:



And a closeup of a rebuilt temporary home:



All were MT2000 and Portra 160. Lenses are 135mm Apo-Sironar-S; 90/4.5 Grandagon-N and 115mm Grandagon-N.

Noah,
It's nice to finally see some of your new photos; looks like India was a successful trip.

I was in India a few months ago and was amazed at the living conditions of so many. These shots are certainly revealing.
