This is one of my best photos from my trip to the south of india. I went out several times to take photos of the locals.

Enjoy

Actually - with the language barrier - its really easy! When I was there - I just wwent out, and pointed to the camera, and said "can I take a photo", and pointed at them - to which they would either walk away shaking their head, or smile, and pose... although somtimes that wasn't what I wanbted to take...

I do have to admit that the first couple of times I went out there - I had to have some one come with me, because it just didn't feel right... but some times - after I'd been out a couple of times, I didn't have enough film to take all the pictures that I wanted... and the kids were coming up to me asking for more!


Its really fun! - I haven't tried locally though - so this might be a bit of a problem...


good luck

Yeah - it was quite an interesting trip - I survived the tsunami - which may I add, was WAY over publicised in india, for what it was. I was living right near the beach, and allot of families living on the beach did get devistated, but not any damage anywhere else. Apart from that My dad got sick; he got appendicitis, and then a urinary tract infection...

but all up I had an amazing time. Its such an eye opener.

Its got great textures, because I took my medium format "film" camera over there...


thanks
