Kohl Kid
This little one has seen better days. While surrounded by little "poppers" I saw her looking up at me and couldn't resist making a quick portrait. It has been haunting me since. While this certainly isn't the postcard image of India, it is more a common sight than you may imagine. The black kohl under her eyes is a Hindi tradition, not a black eye. The blood under her nose and her apparent hair loss is something else. I don't know what to say about this image. I share it nonetheless.
Take pictures, not postcards.
