Home: Asia: Calcutta:
The room was everything I wanted in my photograph, but the Rajasthani prostitute in Calcutta’s (now Kolkata’s) infamous Sonagachi red light district threw me out before I could ask politely. Peach underwear was laid out on the right hand corner of the floral bedspread, a little temple was decked out to the left, above the doorway. There was a little dressing table, too, and soft light through pink curtains. She had the kind of back that shows off bone and muscle structure, and the light would, I know, have looked fantastic across it.
