street photography

It's been nearly six months since I last went to Bombay; a trip I have mixed feelings about, since I mostly went for my cousin's wedding, and despite being there for a month weather and schedules and general fatigue conspired to keep me grounded most of the time.

I took a lot of pictures -- thousands -- but most of them are personal, of family and friends, and I don't share those. Looking through my haul before committing them to DVD backups (remember, kids: back up frequently, often, and in multiple mediums), I found that in between the personal photographs I had snuck in an artistic one here and there.

Been back from my India vacation for a fortnight now, and only now getting round to sorting through the pictures I took. I didn't do as much street photography as I would like -- I'm still not comfortable taking pictures like that -- but I did manage more than I ever have, and I think I am starting to come out of my shell. Unfortunately it will be several months before I can practice the form again.

Another thing I haven't done in a long while is take Black & White photos. I love them, but other than a few experiments with my brother's camera when he was in college, and then a few shots when we first got a digicam, I have never tried it. Another problem I've tried to overcome, and I hope you like these....
