“One day I might be the deepest imprint embossed upon your heart; the second, a mere acquaintance and the third, just a fading memory…”
This is a rather old photo I took sometime in 2010 on visit to our native village in Rajasthan. Shot with a friend’s point and shoot (I didn’t own a camera back then; I made do with borrowing), the photo isn’t staged. The woman merely happened to be walking in front of me and when she reached the bower, I knew I had to shoot.
Faces Places Paces 
Don’t know which part I like more-
The quote,or the photo!
Oh well,i’ll let them split the honours!
Another quote I’ve no idea whether I cooked up or found somewhere. It’s too old and all too blurry to recall 😛
brilliant, moon-shaped composition. very nice 🙂
Thanks Alessandro! do people call you Alex for short?
sandro. actually, since i’m really small, they call me sandrino. 😉
Ahha! I’ll take my pick of the two once I figure out which one’s cuter. 😛
See, this is why I like villages! in a city, that girl would have turned right around and given you a juicy slice of tongue for taking a photo without permission!
do visit!
Yes, that’s true! Though, let me clarify, woman, not girl. I’m quite desperate to go back to my village now that I’m armed with my 550D. But it’s still too hot for a visit to Rajasthan. Later in the year, perhaps.
You’ve just reminded me of a set of photographs of some kids I took on the same trip. They were all so eager to be shot and those joyful little faces made brilliant subjects. I should do a post on that next. Thanks for the idea!
Will visit. 🙂
Beautiful photo!
Thank you!
The women dress in such colorful dresses in Rajastan. Great photo!
I would buy this picture for a million if I had! 🙂
I certainly mean it. a wow!
Beautiful shot!
