As we walked through the dark Jhansi terminal, numerous beggars made desperate appeals to our tour group. We were instructed by our guide to “look straight ahead and keep walking.” If just one person had stopped to give money to any of them, we might have been mobbed. And so we walked briskly -- and somewhat guiltily -- past them, one culture virtually stepping over another. I kept my small camera pressed to my hip as I walked, ensuring camera shake. This image was made at 1/5th of a second, a rolling, quivering group of beggars seemingly passing below me. I was soon out of the station, and they were left behind. I felt this image concluded my picture story effectively. It offers a bittersweet ending to a fascinating three-hour journey on the Agra-Jhansi Express.
