India, Varanasi, Corpse Ricksha, 1984
India, Corpse in Ricksha, 1984 - In this photograph, a corpse is being transported to the burning ghats in Varanasi by ricksha. The driver stopped to have a cup of tea and sits at the shop in the background. As I photographed this scene (without a flash), a man approached me on the left, asking for baksheesh (a handout). Even though people provided no service, they often tried to insinuate themselves into a tip by mere virtue of being in the proximity of a curious onlooker such as myself.
