Street Photography nominee

India is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. In India the streets are extremely busy. So I want to show this business in my series "India in movement" by long time exposures, so that the movement of the many people in the streets is to be seen as movement on my photographs, which gives them an artistic look, little bit like watercolours. In contrast to the movement of the people the background remains sharp and focussed.
