EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic energy of a traffic jam on the approach to the iconic Howrah Bridge in Kolkata, West Bengal state, India. As dawn breaks over this bustling city, vehicles of all shapes and sizes fill every inch of available space on the road. The vibrant colors of taxis and buses blend together as they navigate through a sea of people and transport them to their destinations. The sheer magnitude of this scene is overwhelming, with a large group of objects and people converging in one place. Amidst the chaos, a lone male figure stands out, perhaps contemplating his next move or simply observing the organized disorder that characterizes Indian urban life. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the daily struggle faced by millions who rely on these crowded streets for transportation. It serves as a reminder that despite its challenges, Kolkata remains an integral part of India's metropolitan landscape. Tony Waltham/Robert Harding's high angle view allows us to appreciate both the scale and complexity involved in managing such congestion. This color image not only showcases Asia's unique charm but also highlights how cities like Kolkata are constantly evolving hubs where tradition meets modernity. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how something as mundane as a traffic jam can become an extraordinary work of art when captured through skilled photography.
