Can You Tell the Difference Between These Pictures of New York and Mumbai?
One photographer's quest to capture the similarities between the two cities.
New York and Mumbai are many thousands of miles apart, but photographer Nisha Sondhe sees them as rather close together in spirit. Since 2008, she's been depicting the similarities of life in both cities in a series she calls "Mumbai v. New York." Sondhe hopes her parallel visuals, which match everything from coastlines to buildings to streets to people, will bridge a cultural gap she believes is overblown.
"We always think things are so different," she says. "With the pairings now that I try to do, I want someone to say in one city, Oh they have that there too? I feel like the world gets smaller and people need to understand that we're kind of the same."
