I have just returned from a trip photographing the slums of Mumbai for 15 days, living, eating and spending time with the people who live there and thought some people may want to see a few of the resulting images

In the slums running water is non existant so people wash using water collected from elsewhere

Street kids beg on the trains while cleaning the compartment in an effort to "work for their money"

Only one way to describe them all - Striking images!

Good shots of a desperately sad subject.
 
How beautifully sad, the first picture especially
 
Agreed with all the above... ... i love the angle of lighting in the 5th and 6th... ...
A sad subject captured superbly....
 
Beautiful shots. I love the one with the hands on the door.
 
its a crying shame that some childern need to live like that in this day and age.....

Great shots, can't fault them :) I bet you had a fantastic time on your trip, India is another world and really makes you appreciate what we have here!
