I found this in my old flickr account, the one I can no longer use, and it put me in that same time and place in an instant. My trip through the Rajastan region had some extreme highlights and some very hard encounters. This was one of the later.

  Sony cybershot w5 point-and-shoot. This is the trip that made buy my first dslr, a Nikon D200

  "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear..."

This is quite a story-telling photo, Paco. Very powerful capture. A whole another world out there!

 It is. Completely agree. I remember as is if was today the beauty of the people and their intense but pure eyes.

 If I remember correctly, nothing at all but we were a car full of "rich" tourist. By their standar, we really were that. The economic gap was a shock. Never, not a single time, we felt threaten. Even in remote train stations where we were the attraction. There was plenty curiosity but never a sensation of violence or fear. I was travelling with 5 female dancers.
