The butcher of Bagsu Road Photo

Photographer’s Note

India is not known for high standards of food hygiene and this is a perfect example. This image is from a scanned photo taken in 2002.

Hi Simon,
funny picture :) I like the combination of colours (green, red, white) and the composition... intresting detail: the man's white shirt and the white colour of the signboard add balance to the composition.
regards,
Elena

Hello Simon,
I think I can detect a slight irony in your note...
The background is a bit overexposed, but the focus is all right. Very interesting colours and an educational glimpse of daily llife.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Simon,
Interesting shot-very attractive colors.
In confirmation to ur note, yes, Indians don't follow too much food hygiene and the regular outbreaks of epidemics in slums and villages can be attributed to this bad habit. In recent times, education is helping ppl in unprivileged areas understand the need for hygiene...

Rgds,

Hello Simon,
Very interesting shot of a pretty meat shop. The condition of peeling off of the paint is very tasteful. I like this colors.
