Some amazing shots in there. Great stuff!

These are really good pictures, hope to see more.

Just wow.

Wonderfully intimate photos in a visually rich place. Powerful stuff!

amazing photos. poor but still vibrant city.

cool pix. . .

WOW!! amazing pictures, captures the grit, realism and daily life of a city. I'd look at these pictures anytime over those fancy high rises and construction pics of, say...Dubai or Las Vegas. Just my opinion, but these pictures capture the heart and soul of a city.
