Taking pictures in India

[thirdreel]

People say, "Take lots of pictures!" but they never tell me what to take pictures of. So, give me a guide here.

But . . . but I want to pics of everything!

Yes, but if I have specific requests I'll be more likely to remember my camera. Like if I see a pretty bird and remember, "Oh! Eveline wanted pictures of birds!" I'll get it.

I like pictures of animals and houses and interesting architecture. Pretty much none of your suggested options do very much for me. :) Maybe if it were MEN in men's undergarments, but if you do get to see any of those I doubt you'd take a picture.

I'll get a few pictures of houses for you.

Real photography

Pictures that show what India has been and cannot/will not abandon.

Pictures that show what India is racing toward with no understanding of where she is going or what she will become if she gets there.

Pictures of things that don’t give a shit what was or what will be, because they are here now and they have enough problems.

Pictures that show why you bothered to go there.

I think the families on mopeds are what India will not abandon, the undergarment billboards are what India is racing towards, the kids in turbans are the ones who are here now.

But there's one specific spot that's my reason for going back, and I'll photograph it for you.

I recommend taking pictures of whatever you are interested in. Because if you aren't interested in the subject, the pictures will be boring to everyone.

my suggestion is take pics of a part of something big. for example if you have a building the snap a window, it will give you a different perspective.
