Taxi, Mumbai, India 2008

There are 60,000 taxis roaming the teeming streets of Mumbai. We rode in three of them during our brief one-day visit. (Two of the three drivers got lost.) The taxis are tiny, and uniquely Indian in décor. I made this picture with a 28mm wideangle lens from the backseat, and was able to embrace the driver, the back of the front seat, the windshield, and the mirrored ceiling that added so much character to the journey. This was the final image I made on my three-week journey through India in the early spring of 2008.
