Street Fighters!

Published January 11, 2011

I went walking one Sunday on I.I. Chundrigarh Road to see if I could get some shots of the city. Many local teenagers and children were playing on a wide empty street. A few of them saw me, abandoned their cricket and decided to have some fun with the camera. They asked me to take their picture, and wanting to avoid the usual shot of crowded kids staring into a lens, I encouraged them to do something interesting. To my surprise they quickly picked up some sticks from the trash and started showing me their Kung-fu-style moves. Surprisingly accurate with their poses and high-flying kicks, they provided me with some interesting photographs and lots of entertainment. - Photos and text by Nadir Siddiqui
