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

New Year in Calancute, Goa

Cities, Photography, Travel

I usually do not write that much, but here are some photo’s taken at the beach in Calancute, Goa.

The beach was so full of Indians from the countryside, most had not seen the sea before, the joy they showed was so childlike. Tourist are a minority in this party even if there were plenty of us there also. The techno music came from every shack on the beach, different noice from all of them, you could hardly talk. There were beautiful bonfire’s on the beach and people were sending memory kite’s, we also tried, they looked beautiful in the dark sky. At midnight the fire works started and lasted for some time. Quite wonderful.

Spices

Photography

I spent two weeks in Goa, India in the country of curry’s and Tikka Masala’s and so on…I arrived home a week ago, but have been suffering still from the Indian Welcome as the doctor said, after seeing me at my hotel room. Stomach flu vaused by a bacteria. I thought I’d post one photo to say hi to all, still seeing these posts :-). I just loaded my photos so I will drop the slowly but surely here as I have time to edit them to predentable form.

Here are some spices from the market, I bought some so now I have fresh spices for some time.

Full moon Xmas 2015

Photography

Hope you all have had a wonderfull and peacefull Xmas. Ours was odd to say the least wether wise. Nearly same weather as we had last summer +9C and rainy. Fortunately yesterday was clear and the full moon was visible so Santa had good light as he traveled.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all my followers and people who take time to comment, it warms my heart. This year has been busy work wise so my dear hobby has been slightly neglated.  I will be on holiday from next week so I will not be blogging. So I’ll take this opportunity to Wish you all the the best for year 2016! Hope to see you next year too!
