Delhi Streetlife

with 41 comments

Back in Belgium after an incredible 5 week journey through Pakistan and India, finally i can post some “real” pictures! Let’s start with a series about the streetlife in Delhi. The city where I started en ended my trip has an amazing streetlife, because of poverty many people sleep, wash, eat, drink,… on the streets of Delhi. Much more pictures will follow the next days/weeks!

    • the next days/weeks there is going to be a lot more work about pakistan and a bit India. This is only the first post about 3 days in delhi, another 35 days to go :). Takes some time to work on them!

      • I saw your work in pakistan but it was not that much convincing.
        That delhi street life was really the best. That depicted misery of life and showed real picture of this poor world.

  11. You don’t object if teachers and students use these pictures, with attribution, I presume? These should be a gold mine for geography teachers.

  22. Your images are haunting and thought-provking. My photos make me fell compassionate those people in living and suriving on the streets. I am amazing on how the street people of Dephi can surive and provide for themselves.

  24. amazing photos. i plan to go to india/pakistan starting sometime in september; i want to know more about the safety side of this trip. and of course keep delighting us with more pictures

    • I consider Pakistan even more safe than India, people are just amazing, helpful and friendly. Just keep away from the “Problem area” like Swat Valley and Waziristan. North pakistan is wonderful, completely safe, and one of the most friendly people I’ve ever met, no worries… and enjoy your trip!

  25. With report after report of India’s much vaunted technology parks and rise of the middle class, it’s hard to reconcile them with the extreme poverty we see here. Thank you for shining some light into this tragedy. Do you have recommendations on how we can help here in the west?

  26. They say a picture paints a thousand words, but yours express much more, which no words can describe. Your pictures are amazing!

  27. Dear Friend,
    Your photos are really beautiful! Congrats! But I like to share with other friends that these photos convey only one side of the life in Delhi or in India. So please do not reach a conclusion after seeing ONLY these photos.

    • ofcourse this is only one side of Delhi/India, but walking around at 6 o’clock in the morning in the center of New Delhi, it has to be said that this is reality without even focussing on poverty …

  28. WoW! You’ve got an amazing Photos. I really love them. Almost like I’ve been there in Delhi.

    P.S.
    I added you to my blog Roll. I wish you could add me too. My blog’s name is “La Fotografia de Pepe”

  29. […] Thought provoking, occasionally breath-taking photos from a 6:00 a.m. walkaround in Delhi, India; Belgian photographer Frederick Buyckx promises more photos from his recent trip to India and Pakistan, at his blog. […]

  30. I have to admit that these are awesome pictures! Nice work!

    • er volgt zeker nog vanalles in kleur, maar die van het straatleven in Delhi wou ik graag in Z-W doen ondanks het feit dat er zeer kleurrijke foto’s bijzitten…tja 🙂
