It was the middle of October when I was sent to New Delhi on assignment for Everlane. I hadn’t been to India for some years, and I hate making such long and infrequent trips just for one day of work and home, so I booked an extra day to catch up with a local friend and see what else I could get into, ie make some images for myself!
I was staying at a very nice hotel, yet not really in a great location near anything I knew in Delhi, so I just went exploring nearby. Walking out of the hotel and down a main road, I started snapping a few things. Not exactly what I had in mind, but we always have to get warmed up on something. Off of the big road, down a smaller road that seemed to be a market of sorts, I thought I was starting to get on the right track. A few more random right turns and I’d found a fairly busy street with lots of people, action and the light was decent. I was drawn to the guy on stilts, selling hair oil, I found out, and figured this was a good subject to keep warming up on and try to make something. Focusing on shooting for a minute, the next thing I know, I turn around and there are about 20 people behind me looking over my shoulder. “Hello” I said cheerfully. I’m always keen to interact with the locals, but I wasn’t sure if this was going to help things or not.
