About
I took this image with my mobile camera in a local train. Since it was only a VGA camera of poor quality, I was not able to get good picture quality. But while taking the picture, the only thing that seemed important to me was the realisation that there are so many people in this world who lead lives that are hardly secure. When I see this picture, I realise how fortunate I am, and what responsibility I am supposed to keep in my heart and mind and contribute something to the fulfilment of that responsibility. When I see this image, I realise how blessed a childhood I had. And I can not help seeing two contradictory images in my mind: a rich man's rich child with rich toys and a poor man's poor child with a bleak world to look at. I hope you too feel the same.
You captured the feeling very well in this picture, which is more important than the resolution or other quality factors. I like the outside motion blur also. Also, black and white works very well for this image. By the way, for kids it does not matter so much whether they have a lot of toys or not; all they need is a secure environment with loving adults around. / suvro@suvro.com
