Night Market Bidar India - Explored 29/06/2016

            I am currently on a business trip to a small town called Bidar in India. I only wish this distinctly average image did the vibe of the place justice, but it does not. A western face is an oddity here. A western face with a camera is really unusual. It is impossible to take candid photos, because everyone wants to pose and know where you are from. Each time I visit India I realise more that we put ourselves on a ridiculous treadmill of materialism in the west. People in India do not have the trappings of western life, but they are irrepressibly happy and optimistic. Taken with a Samyang 85mm f/1.4 lens. If the focus isn’t as good as it could be, I was more worried about whether I was about to get run over than I was about nailing focus!
