Photographs of the women and patrons on the internationally notorious street of prostitutes, Falkland Road, in Bombay.

Like most countries, India has fancy brothels and expensive call girls. But the pictures in this book were taken on a street in Bombay where the less expensive prostitutes live and work, an area famous for the cage-like houses in which some of the women live.

These photographs were taken between October 1978 and January 1979. During that time I got to know and enter the world of some of the women on Falkland Road. They were very special women. This book is for them--with deep thanks to my friend Saroja.
