No matter how often I travel back to india, it continues to blow my mind. It still bombards my senses inducing a dizzy and frantic sensory overload as the brain attempts to digest and make sense of the onslaught that is an Indian street. A wash with colour, sites, sounds and smells it truly is incredible.
The ultimate land of contradictions as slums stand next to five-star hotels and the children play cricket on the train tracks among the colourful saris that have been laid out on the ground to dry. Here you will find a collection of my images from Chennai (Madras) and Mumbai (Bombay). Enjoy
