The clique WAS-- somewhat-- in evidence, but I didn't bother about it; introduced myself to a few people and enjoyed myself. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan (which of those names is you and which is your father?)....I felt comfortable enough with the group towards the end of the walk to start the usual ribbing about Canon vs. Nikon! I was the only one not from Chennai, and the only one who was there for the first time. I will be uploading some of the photographs (er, I haven't taken any *artistic* photos!) and will be making a post on my blog soon. I've uploaded just 4 so far.... I don't think I would ever go for a photowalk in Chennai during the summer, though! Yesterday (Sunday) there was a nice haze and the cool weather really helped. My favourite photograph is of the shop sign which has unconscious correctness: http://s967.photobucket.com/albums/ae160/pedoral/?action=view¤t=IMG_9112.jpg It IS wiser to wear a helmet though that's not what this signboard means.... And for your delectation, let me also present the following variety of innerwear: http://s967.photobucket.com/albums/ae160/pedoral/?action=view¤t=IMG_9098.jpg http://s967.photobucket.com/albums/ae160/pedoral/?action=view¤t=IMG_9097.jpg and http://s967.photobucket.com/albums/ae160/pedoral/?action=view¤t=IMG_9077.jpg How many men can afford a Rolex? One thing which bugged me very much was that some the photographers gave money to the people whom they photographed. Many of the subjects started demanding cash, and expecting it. I felt that we are making beggars of these people.... Cheers, Deepa.
