I just love the way you capture the people and their cultures. I am curious, do some of them pose for you? Do you ask their permission?
My friend and husband perchased some of your work for my birthday, but you were out of town, I am so excited to decorate with faces from around the world.
Blessings,

Andrea- Sometimes the people do indeed pose for me. Most of the time, I find them in their environment and the pause what they are doing long enough for me to take their picture. I will often ask to take their photo before I shoot it. Glad you are enjoying the images.

Day two: Nizamuddin

Had a great first full day of Lumen Dei 08. Pretty tiered. So without going into a lot of details, here are a few shots from today's shoot. By the way we have a lot of very talented photographers in this group. I am looking forward to posting some of their images in the future. After tomorrow we shift to Ladakh and we will not have internet so the posting will nill to sparse. So keep checking back.

G'day from downunder Matt,

Ive just stumbled across yours and David's blogs recently which is great, both excellent blogs... whats more looks like I'm travelling to India in February, so I am looking with interest as to what your capturing and where your going.

I love the three images you have here, and the one birth the boy against the blue doorway is fantastic.

Cheers

Old Delhi Take Two

David taking a break in Chandni Chowk.

Click any image to view larger.

We went into old Delhi once more to today to see if the Metro was running and what obstacles we might in counter after the Delhi bombings. That sounds crazy even writing it!

I really felt off my game, so to speak. I just couldn't seem to grasp what I wanted to shoot today. You might say my vision was blurred. But I have still posted a few shots from the day.

Oh, one of the attendees from last nights talk, Yogesh Sarkar, put up a review of our presentation. Check it out HERE. Yogesh seems really sharp! Not just because he liked our talk...well, ok, maybe that has something to do with it. He is very articulate and expresses some great points to follow up our disscusion with the group.

The first full day of Lumen Dei is tomorrow. Check back in.

First Day Back in India.

It has been good to be back in many ways. Just feels good to be back in India. It is great to hang with my good buddy David DuChemin and shoot with him again. Well, I say it is good. He is so sticking talented that it make shooting the same subject really difficult. He always seems to walks away with a winner. But it is good to be challenged. We went out this morning for about three hours and shot at Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi. Click HERE for the map. Here is a sampling of my images from the days shoot.

I like these shots very much. The people are real. You can see them thinking and feeling and reacting.
