Great pictures, and what a trip. Do they have a Tour D’Indie?

Haha Alan, if they did, you know that we would do it! We actually met a couple of cyclists. They said that is was much easier to cycle through the country than it looked. I think that I would have preferred to camp as opposed to some of the places that we stayed in:-)
Gorgeous photos – I just love close up shots of people, the wide variety of emotions and attitudes that you can read in just their face and body language is amazing

Amazing! I love this set. It just gives us a glimpse of India.

Really beautiful photos – what a great way to share the humanity of the people!
It’s easy for us readers to conclude that India is mostly about the crowds, filth, scams, and frustrations, but it’s good for us to be reminded that underlying everything is the people, and that there are wise, warm, friendly, joyful, and colorful people everywhere – we just need to connect with them.

You are right Trisha, near the end of our time in India, we spent way too much time dwelling on the negative. It can become really consuming while you are there. Now that we are in Nepal, we can step back and remember the good times and the people that we met. There were some very bright moments during our three months there.
Wow, great picts. So colourful. Great post for doing some ‘armchair people-watching’.

Wonderful photos. I can’t wait to return to India.
I could look at these photos all day – such proof of a land worth visiting!

Thanks everyone for your comments. It is always the people that make a country worth visiting and we made some incredible new friends in India. All of these people were so gracious and I really believe it is Dave’s way of interacting with them that allows him to capture such moments. He always asks and smiles and has a nice conversation with them. There is a story behind every moment and he learned much about their lives.
The man weaving had made rugs for royalty, the woman at the beach came to collect clams once a week, the Sadu didn’t say much, but he was proud to pose for Dave. The musicians were always thrilled to play their music while Dave snapped his shots and we always were happy to listen to their talents.
He never just snaps a photo and walks away. People are more than willing to have their photo taken if you take the time to chat. We know from experience of being on the other end. In India, everyone wanted to take photos with us! We loved posing for them and having a short conversation or a handshake. We were never thrilled when people just snapped at us and didn’t acknowledge our presence.
Gorgeous photos. I still haven’t made to India yet, but when I do I will bring extra memory cards.
Haha, true Devin. Extra Memory cards are a must! India is very photogenic.
Great photos. I haven’t been to India yet, but I know it is one of those places where everything looks photos worthy. I had a similar experience in Thailand.

very cool. i like the way you can read the person’s story from their face:) enjoy ur trip!
Thanks Ciki!
Dave loves taking photos of people. And so true, the lines in the faces and their eyes can tell a persons story. In India and Sri Lanka everyone was very gracious about having their photos taken. They have such rich stories to tell and Dave always engages with people before he takes their shots. It is important when taking photos to talk with people and ask their permission. We see so many travelers trying to sneak a photo and it is so obvious. Most of the time, people will happily let you take their photo:)
Don’t know why I wrote that here, I just thought I would share:)
