EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the essence of everyday life in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India during the 1980s. The image depicts a ragged driver seated on his cycle rickshaw, his expression thoughtful as he looks up the bustling street. His scruffy appearance, marked by a tattered turban and worn clothing, is a stark contrast to the vibrant colors and activity surrounding him. The rickshaw, a common mode of transportation in India during this time, is a simple yet effective means of transport, with its three wheels and wooden frame. The driver's hands rest idly on the handlebars, and he absentmindedly picks at his teeth, suggesting a moment of respite before the next fare. The photograph transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple act of waiting for passengers was an opportunity to pause and reflect. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and everyday realities of India during the 1980s."
