Dood’s Photo of the Day

I was watching a road side music show near the cathedral in downtown Guanajuato when I heard a roar of movement behind me. I turned back and saw that a crowd of people and photographers is coming out of the church. I started walking in that direction to check out what was happening. As I reached the entrance of the church I saw this couple standing with broad smiles on their face. I made my way through the crowd to find a decent angle to shoot them.

Unlike other “official” photographers who were dressed in black and white tuxedos, I was looking the odd one out in my blue jeans and white t-shirt. I realized this once I finished clicking & saw that people around me are giving me what-the-hell-are-you-doing-here glances. I quietly moved out of the place with a joy of having a nice photo in my camera.

After a long long time I attended a wedding yesterday. Weddings are essentially occasions for celebrations, feasting, family reunions and all sort of festivities. North Indian wedding are particularly famous for their wild celebrations and a week full of hundreds of different associated rituals.

I took this photo just before my friend was going to get over that ill fated mare (For those who don’t know, the groom is supposed to reach the bride’s place riding a horse)
