In the beginning you look at the calender and a year feels like forever, the months doesn't really matter - 1-2-3-...9-10 and all of a sudden its weeks i'm counting. Then those pass too, and suddenly its a matter of days! 16 of them to be exact. Its odd, i went into this thinking that a year would be such a long time - but time flies by quicker than you can imagine, and now it has been 10 months and 9 days since i arrived in Chattrapathi Shivaji International Airport of Mumbai. And theres only 16 days until i hop on an airplane back to Copenhagen...
मैं भारत अच्छा पसन्द हुँ l फिर मिल्ते हैं - ZARUR!

Photo safari in Bombay
Mumbai might not be the prettiest, cleanest, most lovely or the richest city seen with a conventional set of eyes. But after living here for almost a year - I know where to look to see the beauty of this vibrant city. I have learned how to look into the trains and see the ocean of colours that can't do anything but make you smile, stand in the doorway of the same train and watch how the most amazing picturesque scenes float by - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - And where most people (even me in the beginnig) would just see all the garbage, pollution, dirt and poverty, i now look past all that and see a lovely beautiful city filled with warm, open and always friendly Mumbaikars (the people of Mumbai).
I wanted to capture my view. And share my Mumbai with everyone, so i took my Nikon with me and started shooting...
