A Fleeting Reality

“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.

This picture was shot in the evening at dusk, at Shitla Ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
The light was fading and becoming dull with a lack of contrast suddenly two men came and without warning, started cleaning the place with high pressure water pipes.
People were running here and there in order to avoid to be wet.
The water spread around became an unexpected frame for intriguing reflections…
