Christmas Photo Shoot

By | Christmas, Photography | 3 Comments

My dream came true!!  I have been wishing for a nice family photo.  Thanks to Pam for organizing our family photo for this year.  

Previous entry:  Christmas Family Photos Dec 29, 2011

I believe that a year can never be brought back and we need to have a proper documentation of our family because we will never look the same after every year 🙂

This year, Pam took charge and organized everything – from the outfit, the pegs, the layout, the furniture, the venue, the photographer, making sure we were all made up.  Her first email 🙂

Vendors in India

By | Photography, Shopping, Travel | No Comments

Again I wish I had my SLR and zoom lens to capture the many sights in India!  Here is a compilation of vendors I saw during our trip.  We did not get to try any food vendors on the street because we were warned to be careful

India

By | Photography, Travel | 2 Comments

India is such a beautiful place – with so many things to see and discover.  As we were most of the time riding the bus going around – it was difficult to take nice photos especially since I did not have my SLR.  There were so many moments I wanted to capture but I could not.  But my camera was still overworked!  I could not put it down even for a single moment because there were just too many beautiful things to capture!  I was able to get a few and I am sharing them here at H2H

They use CNG

Raj told us that when two guys are holding hands, it does not mean they are in a relationship.  They could be just close friends.  That’s how it is in India

Students touring also the sights

india-013.jpgindia-014.jpgindia-015.jpg

Love these shots! All are candid

india-016.jpgindia-017.jpgindia-018.jpgindia-021.jpgindia-019.jpgindia-020.jpg

Many dogs lying around on the ground

A child beggar outside our bus 🙁

There were many moments like this during the road trips- just could not capture it because the bus was moving too fast. Many interesting people and colorful outfits by the ladies!

Colorful families

One of the gods that they worship

india-047.jpgindia-048.jpgindia-049.jpg

There were quite a number of places like this, where there was trash just there on the streets

india-050.jpgindia-051.jpgindia-052.jpg

A couple of these in tourist attractions 🙂

With a zoom lens I would have probably also taken more shots.  Sometimes they ask for money even if you just take their photo.  Like this woman cleaning the garden in one of the palaces. I guess some will try to make money if they could

india-059.jpgindia-060.jpg

I just turned around and caught this shot!  One of my favorites!

india-061.jpg

There were many beautiful images like this, but could not capture from the bus- I like these type of shots too

At a Catholic church that we went to

People shots I really love – and you see them all over!!

india-064.jpgindia-065.jpg

The kids in India are so cute! Their eyes are beautiful!! There are also many beautiful Indian women

I took this from afar – that guy carrying bread and selling them
