THE PORTER'S HAPPY EYES, KOLKATA, 2013.

Happiness reflects from the soul. It is not a a result of the money you have. Its the result of how you feel and embrace life. Photo taken at Malik Ghat, next to the river Hoogly, is one of the biggest flower markets in Kolkata. Its a place full of colour and scent. People, like this porter, work through the day and make about $2-3 a day. Still you can see the happiness shine through their eyes.

THE RICKSHAW RUNNER, KOLKATA, 2013

Kolkata (India), is probably one of the last places in the world where these human powered rickshaws still exist. Around 1880, these rickshaws first appeared in India, in Simla. At the turn of the century these were introduced in Kolkata. In this photo, the rickshaw runner takes a break and waits for the next ride.
