The World in Black and White: A Photostory
With the advent of digital cameras most people don’t really think of photographing in Black and White. Well I think people are missing out. If you look back over time you will see that some of the most striking and evoking photographs were taken in Black and White. It gives images a certain impact. Ansel Adams is a perfect example.
Big Bad Delhi
Ooh, Delhi. It is so scary. Pickpockets, thieves, street kids and poverty. Everyone has told us to get out of Delhi, so as usual, we went into the city with our back against the wall expecting the worse. Delhi’s not so bad. Sure, the PaharGanj area is filthy and over crowded. Sure the train station is intimidating with its masses of people crowding the platform and sure it is huge! The population of Delhi is 13,000,000 people!
Begging in India
Dave and I have a hard and fast rule when traveling. We never give money to beggars. We feel that it only contributes to a begging society and that giving money to people perpetuates the problem. If tourists keep giving people money just because they ask, how will they ever have the ambition to try to make a better life for themselves? However, how can a person not give to a man that is crawling on the ground because his legs are paralyzed, or give to an old man with a deformed foot limping through the streets? We didn’t give to either of these men when they asked and I regret my actions. I stuck to my rule, but felt that it was the wrong decision.
