Mumbai street photography with the Ricoh GR1s

I put my Ricoh GR1s up for sale and expected it to be picked up in a flash.  These little beauties are usually much in demand.  Hoever, I was initially disappointed that I got only one enquiry which did not materialise into a sale. So I decided to shoot a roll with the camera which had been sitting in my dry cabinet for several months.  I loaded some tri-x, hit the streets and was instantly reminded of why I bought this camera in the first place.  I really enjoyed shooting with it and once I developed the roll my mind was made up.  I immediately took it off the market and now it goes with me everywhere.  I am always a believer that everything happens for a reason:)

This contrast really made me laugh

The Mumbai skyline will be very different in another 10 years from today

High rise

Have to shoot at least one cleverish image

This VIP car (light on top) looked pretty shabby

This sweet man was inching forward when I saw this little carefree boy walk past him and complete the image

MJ?

There are so many gorgeous old buildings in Mumbai.  Mumbai could really be beautiful if it were cared for rather than plundered by those in charge
