Bikes and Walls

Looking through my work from Kolkata, I am a little overwhelmed. I shot a LOT. And I am happy with a lot of it. The problem I'm facing now is how to organize it and what to do with it all. I'm not inclined to publish too much here, as I'm still sorting out what it means. The goal was never to make this an outlet for my main work, but rather a journal of the things I do. A home for the fun little projects I make for myself. A place for the oddballs.

I found some themes I kept shooting during my week walking the city. Heavily used bikes leaning on heavily patinaed walls is a classic Indian scene. This series is not a revelation by any means, I know, but I like it none the less. The small details that each image holds about the rider and the street are layered in thick. Each bike looks almost identical. The scenes are reminiscent of each other. Yet they all tell a little story. 

I've become one of those people who just love timeworn surfaces. A patinaphile, if you will.
