My new train project is now live on my website.
My Indian train project is now live on my site here, and here is a little bit of info about it!
Traveling round India we spent a lot of time on trains (which are brilliant by the way!) and i became interested in the huge variety of people that used this mode of transport. Young people, old people, rich, poor, etc etc. So I stated taking pictures through the windows as we were waiting for our trains. The more I did this, the more I liked the photos and soon I was popping into stations even when we didn’t need to catch a train (who wants to look at a beautiful temple when you can stand on a train platform!).
As a rule people in India seem to enjoy having there photo taken, so most people seemed fairly happy for this strange white guy with a big camera to stand outside the train and take their photo, some ignored me, some posed and some didn’t notice. A few even got of the train to have a chat with me and get me to take more photos of them and their friends and family.
Anyway, please do check out the rest of the photos on my website.
Juanito at El Juanito, Barranco, Lima, 2000. If you find yourself in Barranco, go have a beer at this place. I will do so myself, this Friday.
This guy was on a ferry in Fort Cochin and with a T-shirt like that I had to take his picture. His girlfriend wasn’t with him, so I can’t confirm if his shirt is factually accurate or not.
