yay, photography! (thumbnails or links only, pls.)

Want to see something that'll break your heart? I don't usually take pictures of people living in poverty, but I saw this today and I had to take out the camera and capture it. I mean, I've been here for months but I still can't get close to the blithe ignorance Indians show to, say, a pair of ragged street kids sleeping in the middle of an intersection.
I moved them off the street and gave them a couple of rupees for food (the girl in particular looked like she was starving), but I couldn't do anything more. I hated that feeling so much I felt sick.
And this is a country that has the balls to tell the West, hey, maybe you shouldn't be discussing our problems (i.e. the ruckus surrounding Slumdog Millionaire/Crorepati).
chma:
That's some heavy photos, elcapitan
elcapitan:
Aren't they just. Jeans, that's an interesting angle, what is it? A shot tower, or just an old chimney?
Oh well, here's some slightly happier ones. These are all natural-light portraits from a couple of small villages in Kutch (far western India, closer to Karachi than to Delhi). They're part of a set on Flickr, which you're more than welcome to check out.
phooey:
That last man has excellent hair. You have a real flair for portraiture, Cap.
Drill King:
God I love all your photos from India. I love pictures like that, I really want to travel to India actually! It is on my list!
So I am not really a good photographer, but I saw some really interesting dogs on the way home and am kinda proud of the results
The dog with the different colour eyes was what struck me about them. His eyes were really just that piercing. Maybe it was the light reflecting off the snow, but I have never seen such eyes. I tried not to really edit them much except for some cropping, and some desaturation in the last one.
