Thanks, this was one of my most memorable moments scouring the alleys of Shahjahanabad
Wonderfully evocative pictures. I haven’t been to India but your picture of the fruit sellers with the bananas took me back to my time living in Pakistan, I felt the old emotions I had there come flooding back, it was amazing. Thank you!
Thank you again for the nice comments … Old Delhi was an amazing trip … is like walking in the past
I recognize all theses scenes from India – not the exact places & faces, but the scenes in general.
first, thanks for the like on my India Journal Blog. to have someone of your obvious talent take the time to like my photos is a great honor and most appreciated. I love these photos of Delhi-I usually see India in all its colors and seeing it in black and white adds a whole new dimension to the scenes. I will be checking out your other India posts as well. thanks again.
with love light and JOY
