Despite being such a photogenic country (from a foreigner’s point of view) i didn’t take all that many photos whilst i was in India. Partly because it’s so hard to take pictures without causing a huge fuss; Indians love having their photo taken, so any attempt to document ‘normality’ usually turns into a joyous series of forced poses.

Also, i got used to being there… what would seem strange and worthy of a photo to most foreigners quickly turned into everyday scenes. I realise great photographers can find subject matter anywhere but my neighbourhood (as crazy as it was) felt like home. These are some of my favourites, mostly taken on trips away from Bangalore.
