Local food market

These are taken in Goa at a local food market,everything is fresh, but something can be said abour hygiene. I for one prefer the ones we have back home. I do have to say this place is so much more interesting than our local super market if taking photos.

Woman

I love taking photos of people. I try to capture a moment in the photo, A true feeling, not a plastic smile. I say this woman sitting and taking in the life around her – and took the shot. Black and white portraits are something I really enjoy. I have here the original photo in color and this final version. Do you agree with me that the BW has more magic in it?Maposa , Goa (91)-4

Lady in a Cafe

I have no idea who this lady is, but as she sat in the cafe, she got some attention, and people wanted to have selfies with her, so I thought I’d take few photos of her also.
