This was taken in a spice market in Delhi. He is a porter, and was sitting on a trolley curious at our group of tourists. Shot with a Canon SX30 about 200mm zoom. I was lucky to blur out the surrounding people and capture the glint in his eye.
KENYA GIRL
Taken in a safari lodge in Samburu, Kenya. This girl was one of the hotel staff and had a lovely smile. The light was just perfect to show off her hair, so I took this candid shot from a distance as we watched a presentation. (Canon SX30)

CLEANING LADY, INDIA
Another India photo. This one is of a cleaning lady at the Amber Palace, Jaipur. I just asked her if I could take her photo and she agreed (for a couple of rupees). I loved the colour of her sari and later loved her wrinkly socks. (Canon SX30)

NICHOLAS, DRIVER/GUIDE, KENYA
I asked our driver to pose for this shot since candid ones of him at the wheel were a bit hit and miss. A really nice guy, a great guide and a careful driver too! (CANON SX30). When on holiday, sometimes it is good to take a shot that will jog your memory and not purely scenery or your partner.

This elderly Sri Lankan lady had some bananas for sale but they were too green for us to eat. However, she obliged me by having her portrait taken. A beautiful and dignified lady whose immediate reation to seeing her photo was to brush her hair with her hand.

It was late afternoon and I was on the riverbank by my hotel when this man came down to bathe and do his laundry. We often take fresh water, hot water and washing machines for granted, but this is not the case for most of the world's population.
