Family in transit, Mumbai, India, 2008

The old steps of Victoria Terminus provide a resting place for this family waiting for a train. This is a group environmental portrait, contrasting the needs of modern family life with the dark and worn history of what was once known as Bombay. The mother seems to be doing most of the work here – tending the needs of her children while balancing a lap full of packages. Everyone but her gets refreshment. The only member of the group that seems to notice my camera is the father. He stares into it with great intensity. I could sense his impatience, and made this my last shot.
