I shot this from the backseat of a taxi while on assignment in Delhi, India.
This little girl was weaving in and out of the traffic that had stopped for a red light…she was begging for money and food. Not visible in this photo, her legs were dirty and her feet were shoeless. I remember thinking to myself how in the United States, a young person with her look might model, or do television commercials.
But in her country, in her city, she was just another street kid with no hope for a real future.
