My account from Mumbai has been lost as well, so here's just a couple shots. This one is from the cab on the way to some hotel. We drove for an hour straight and saw both sides of the street lined by shantis just like this, two stories high or approximately 12 feet, with life just spilling literally into the street. Cooking, bathing, playing, you name it.
I thought I had the nerve to venture into the red light district for some photos....I decided to just do some drive-by photography...
Here's one of my favorite places in India, Murud. Somewhat off the beaten path, this place had the highest concentration of Muslims I think I've seen yet. The people were extremely friendly. The family I crashed with took me into their home, cooked me breakfast, and went out of their way to make my experience great. I love this pic showing burqas on the beach.
This floating fort is just south of Murud.
I caught a boat out to it, wandered around, and managed another one of my fav shots...
