A real challenge for me.
Tried looking for photos of broken objects in my albums. Couldn’t find any. So yesterday, while I was riding a rickshaw, I tried to look for broken things, then I started thinking–What is broken? Can it be something that’s under construction? What if something is broken but still works? That would be half of Bombay.
I snapped a photo of my broken door chain. So mundane. So ordinary. Couldn’t figure out how to make it extraordinary. So I walked down the stairs and snapped these–
Guess what this is?
Continued walking. Walking outside my building. Snapping. Liked this shot.
Then it started rain. Monsoon season. Saw a broken wall. But didn’t want to ruin my camera. Walked home.
Perhaps will continue my broken hunt tomorrow.

Like the idea of going on a broken hunt. Love the green coloring in the first series — so, what is it?
