    Wonderful. I was in Mumbai earlier this week and they don’t allow shooting in railway stations. Jonathan

    Hi Gavin,

    I hope you’re doing well. I love the train station photos. Especially the third one. How long are you going to be in India?

    Great series – I think my favorite is the last with the battered roofs and the aerial view of the couple walking away from the train. A lot of texture and a story. The descriptions reminded me of riding a bus in Nicaragua. Felt like I could stop holding myself up and go nowhere.

    Great set of images. I too really like the shot of the arm.

    I miss seeing the exif data when I roll over the images – is that becasue you are posting while on the road , or have you stopped including it?

    Safe travels
    Dave
