a hidden gem spotted
I happened to be going though some photographs posted
a couple days ago and I came across this one by ewest in
Xiabancheng, China.
All the beautiful details make this composition
well worth a reconsidering.

Foto Friday: Portraits in India
Today I thought I would share some portraits that
I took while I was in India. All of these were strangers
I meet in public places. During the few moments
I spent photographing them I sensed a connection.
The first portrait below came out of the [...]
