Shooting real people doing real things in Mumbai
I proclaimed that I did not want to do anything touristy while in Mumbai. I want to shoot real people doing real things. Blah, blah, blah. So what do I do? First day in India, head straight to Dhobi Ghat thinking I’m stepping off the beaten path for innovative and new photography. Duh. My motivation [...]
