Street palette, Jaipur, India, 2008

I play the strong colors of the saris against the muted colors of the wall in dappled light here. I saw the space between the end of the food cart and the advertising poster, and waited for pedestrians to walk into it. These women, in their wind-blown saris, were the most colorful to pass through that space while I was shooting here.

Thanks, as always, Tim, for this lucid analysis. I was thinking of the impact of color all the way here, and that is why I put it in this gallery. But it just as well could have placed in my layers gallery because there are so many at work here.

I see many layers here. The interaction of the poster in modern dress and the women in traditional dress. The fact that the men seem to be ignoring the women, and the layers of posters eroding off the wall, speaking to the transitory nature of style and trends.
