Agra Street Scene

This is a part of a video pan shot of a street in Agra. The guy in the foreground just stood and stared into the camera. It’s difficult to determine whether his expression is disapproving or passive. Maybe that scowl comes naturally.

A cheerful street seller with his barrow in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.

 

Varanasi Archway

There maybe serious health and safety issues about working under that archway, but it makes for a photogenic scene. I love exploring places like this. There is always another corner to peer around and another alleyway to discover that’s full of incident and detail.

Saucepan Mender

This scene is part of my series of monochrome pictures of India and was taken in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

Suburban Street Varanasi

Three characters stand behind the proscenium of the camera frame with a backdrop of a suburban street in Varanasi with the spotlight at stage left.

 

Varanasi Courtyard

We wandered the narrow back streets of Varanasi and were happy to capture intimate scenes like this of the close communities there. Inspirational India.

 

Fatepur Sikri Portrait 12

A brief return to Fatepur Sikri for this black and white scene where families were enjoying their visit to this north India attraction.

 

Threave Castle from Balmaghie

The square monolith of Threave Castle stands off in the distance on its small island in the middle of the river Dee, so quite what the round tower structure in the foreground is I’m unsure. Perhaps it’s a disguised water tank, or maybe it really is an ancient relic.

I was driving through this part of The Stewartry when I spotted the nearer tower. Without thinking I leaped from the car, climbed over a gate, and ran across the field to frame my shot. When I returned to the car a woman stepped out of her cottage door and asked what I was doing. When I apologised to her she said that I was lucky that the bull wasn’t in the field that day.

Taj Texts

A visit to that icon of Indian architecture is the ideal opportunity to upload your pictures to Facebook or text your granny….
