People I met in Varanasi
Walking the ghats of Varanasi is different. The mix of spirituality and raw commercialism is something I only have experienced in Rome before. Some people are extremely friendly, others just want your money and some are plain rude. So it is exciting to photograph people there. I got many smiles, but also some angry faces. The women below was a real sweetheart. She was sitting on a wall in the sunset just relaxing. I smiled at her and pointed at my camera. She smiled back and gave me that little Indian head-shake that means "okay". I took some pictures of her with my 80-200 at f2.8. I then sat down next to her and showed her the resulting pictures at the back of the camera. To my surprise she blushed. I think she realised that she was still beautiful...
