This photographer is requesting strangers in Mumbai to smile for ongoing project

<p>An Australian photographer has been requesting random strangers to smile for an ongoing digital project soon to debut at a Mumbai gallery</p>

On a Wednesday morning, the cottages that line St Roques Road in Bandra bask in the winter sun. The lane is quiet, except for the occasional bark of a pet or scooters zooming off into the nearby Ranwar village. As a taxi driver wipes the dust off his kaali peeli, Jay Weinstein approaches him with a camera in tow. He doesn't ask for his name, ethnicity or life story; only for a couple of photographs. Seeing him puzzled, the Australian-origin photographer breaks into crisp Hindi, "Main kahin bhi jaata hoon, anjaane logon ki tasveer banata hoon [Wherever IâÂu00c2u0080Âu00c2u0088go, I make images of strangers]."
