Cropped Shots
I try not to crop but for this shot I did. It was made quickly as I got into a taxi. My bags were still around my arms so composition was impossible. Her face was too good and once cropped, the shot conveys the beggar experience with more force.
So while I am no fan of cropping, sometimes it's worth it.
For the record, I gave this woman money though I think it was far too little.
This shot was made hanging out the door of my train. The little girl would glance and me every once and an while and as I would shoot, she'd turn away. It wasn't so much a game as something to do. Our train was moving very slowly and she was more bored than curious or playful. I later looked at the shot and thought it would be better if I cropped it in a bit and brought a little more attention to her. While it's not the most compelling shot, it's another shot I tried to salvage "in post."
Take pictures, crop sparingly.
