Helpful Posts: Taken a few years ago at a street fair in a very culturally-diverse neighbourhood, I was struck by the contrast between the mother's clothing and that of her child as well as that of the others around her on the street, and grabbed this shot.
Originally taken on colour slide film, the lab accidentally cross-processed the roll in C-41 chemistry, but after a bit of gentle (!) prodding they scanned the very thin negatives and gave me the results on a disk. I converted the images I wanted to black and white and managed to tease out usable shots in Photoshop.

Re: Confluence of cultures
I'd like to say a few things and question a few things, but I will keep my opinion to myself this time around. As for the shot, it looks like a pretty busy day.

Re: Confluence of cultures
Robert, I like this shot for what it says and what it doesn't say. I think that I like it better than if the woman with the stroller were the obvious center of interest...
