Story of a photo: Four


Behind a picture is always life. In this case the lives of four boys. It was taken inside a bus while leaving Mumbai. They were four simple guys playing but I saw four lives that overcome their surroundings. A slum, which has no beauty besides the one of the people who inhabit it. And it becomes unique. There is no distractions in this photo. And no doubt who shines. These four - who I saw little more than their shadows - gave me a lesson. All we have are opportunities to see shadows of life. Spent in acts of sharing and happiness. Immune, but integrated, in their surroundings. Transforming a simple image into something beautiful, just like life is.
