Dana is excited as she just signed as a fitness model with an agency! We did a few shots for her new portfolio!
This is how it looks like when you throw a push pin upside down into the water and take the picture at the right time. But that was pretty hard to take, I needed many tries!

Autumnal colours and traces of early seasonal snow provided the backdrop for this view of the RhB push-pull Regio service R1941 recorded approaching its destination at Pontresina. Approximately ten minutes later Class Ge 4/4" 627 'Reichenau-Tamins' would be passing this location near Punt Muragl again hauling the return hourly frequency service along the Engadin Valley to Scuol-Tarasp.

Photographing Humans
One of the huge motivators for me going to India was a desire to become more skilled at photographing humans.
You will see a large number of images of people. So here is a disclaimer. I will not post an image of a person where they had not given me permission to do so. That permission was often given by the simple tilt of the head, but more often than not they had actually asked me to capture them. How did this come about?
I have never really done any street photography of people before heading to India. So I was on a very steep learning curve. What happened is I spent most of my time actually stopping and talking to people, in this case in the spice markets near Chandni Chowk in Delhi. I would have the most amazing conversations, often with folks who spoke very little english. At the end of the conversation they were asking me to snap them, and there was more often than not a real keenness from them.
I witnessed some, to be frank, arsehole tourists and their methods of capturing these people. They would just storm through barging up to the people and grabbing pics. All I know is they must have some pretty strange photos. And they cause a real reluctance on the part of people to take part I think.
I loved getting away from where those tourists were. In the most part I was hanging out amongst people, this was one of those places, where you just didn't see tourists. So the people I was hanging out with were surprised to firstly see a me wandering among the carts on the road, and secondly wanting to stop and have a hard case chat.
Anyway. I think I have learned a thing or two about taking photos of people on the street while away and I am so looking forward to sharing the images, but for me more importantly the stories of the people I shot, because I stopped and spoke to them so I could share their stories, so that you not only see their wonderful eyes, but might understand a bit about them as humans.
Peace, Denis
