INDIA TODAY – Jodhpur graphics

Indians will decorate any and each available surface. They like their graphics loud, bright and generally with an in-your-face attitude that compels the eye.How is this not to be loved?

Odd sightings around Jodhpur, Rajahstan.

 

 

 

 

You are always welcome inside a shop. Your shoes, however, stay outside – in good company…

 

 

 

 

Movie posters provide a poignant portrait of India today, what with the layers, the expressions, the state of constant decay and renewal…

 

 

 

 

And though it is mostly men with macho moustaches – there are a few scantily-clad Indian ladies to be spotted here and there, as well.

 

 

 

 

Of course, India’s polychromatic pantheon provides endless source of inspiration. Here two gentlemen quietly read the morning papers near a large mural depicting a benevolent Shiva.

 

 

 

 

Just a brief post, as i’m currently juggling several things and haven’t much time available. I hope you enjoyed this oblique glance on today’s India. A truly magnificent land that not only provides infinite photographic opportunities – it gives you all the time and all the light you need to get those shots just right.

Thanks for visiting.
