When walking around New Delhi and getting lost in the backstreets, I came to an active area where everyone was selling accoutrements for the Diwali festival. I think the ladies knew that I was not a potential buyer, but all of them on the street were very happy to show me what they had to sell. Delhi itself is a very gray and dusty town, so it makes these colorful outfits and flowers stand out even more.

Hey, I heard you interviewed on a podcast... I forget which one now. Just happened to stumble onto your Flickr page.
You give a good interview and I appreciate how much you are willing to share tips. I'll definitly hang around your website and keep an eye on your photostream.
It must be great to have the opportunity to travel...so much to photograph!
If you want a laugh for the day, checkout my "Grand Canyon" shot I have up right now.
Oh, I missed the point here... Great picture!!! :o)
