Walking the streets and lanes of the cities and towns of India has become one of my favorite travel activities. While in Kolkata, I visited many of the city's busiest markets and neighborhoods. In each area, daily life offered a kaleidoscope of color and chaotic activity in crowded spaces that made privacy seem unattainable. However, in the midst of the din and clamor of everyday life, I witnessed individuals create their own quiet private moments by retreating into themselves, joining others, or performing a daily ritual. This ongoing series attempts to capture the unexpected and peaceful beauty of these small acts of self renewal made in the midst of mayhem.
