EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bennett Dean, we are transported to the bustling streets of Garia district in Kolkata, West Bengal. The image captures a unique mode of transportation - a cycle rickshaw driver with an unusual set of passengers: chickens! Amidst the chaos and vibrant energy of the market, this hardworking man skillfully navigates his rickshaw through the crowded streets, carrying not only goods and produce but also these feathered companions. With their colorful plumage contrasting against the backdrop of busy city life, it is a sight that truly encapsulates the essence of India. The photograph beautifully showcases the resourcefulness and adaptability often witnessed in everyday life across Asia. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenges and limited resources, people find innovative ways to make ends meet. Dean's composition perfectly captures both the physical strain on our protagonist's face as he pedals away tirelessly and the lively atmosphere surrounding him. From curious onlookers to fellow vendors going about their business, each person adds depth to this snapshot of Indian street culture. This evocative image invites us to reflect upon how individuals from different walks of life contribute to shaping their communities. It reminds us that there is beauty in simplicity and resilience in those who work diligently behind-the-scenes.
