Hello From Southeastern British Columbia

Peter, welcome to NG. Your photos are just mind-blowing. The project "India" - after long time I've come across so many good photos of India. Very inspiring.

[Peter McLennan]

Thanks, Anirban.  India is a great place to shoot.
Those are all from 1979 with a Pentax Spotmatic, and a couple of Pentax 6X7. 
How I'd love to go back there now, armed with my D800 outfit.

Welcome to NG Peter! 

+1 to incredible photos - love all of them. Especially resonated with those from India (I grew up in south India, currently in the US). The rickshaws in the crowded street brings many fond memories.  You won't find many of those nowadays... they're being replaced by motorized vehicles.

Thanks, abhijit.  That's my worry: If I return to India after all these years, I'll find that it's changed beyond recognition.  I love India. It might be a mistake to go back now.
I loved the south in particular.  Mysore and Bangalore, even Madras are all fond memories.  I'll bet I'd never recognize Bangalore now.

Hi Peter. Your guess is spot on. Most places in India, especially the major cities, have morphed quite a bit over the last 10 years or so. Bangalore leads the pack on this one.

For me, visiting India is always interesting (was there not too long ago actually). Plenty to love and plenty to dislike, no middle ground. If nothing else, you can enjoy a wild ride in a local taxi through chaotic traffic, eat great food, and experience insane levels of population density
