India: Take a picture of me!

In China, I'm used to people coming up and asking to take a picture with me, it's the foreign charm that we have. haha. No really it's the eccentricity that we are that makes us appealing. In India, they don't want to take a picture with us, they want us to take a picture of them.

It's kind of odd. Most of these people I never saw again, but just one time passing by and they wanted their picture taken. They didn't want it emailed to them; many of them didn't even want to see it after it was over. I'm confused, but it was popular trend and pretty funny.


These three love birds stopped me on Valentines day as I was taking pictures of the street and wanted their picture taken. They asked if I had a date and I said no I was just visiting. They started giving me a hard time until I asked them if they had a date. They said "Yes we have a date..." then realized they were supposed to be going to pick up their dates and were late. They then rushed off.


A market vendor who just wanted his picture taken with his brother/friend.... I dont know.


This man was proud of his water carrying skills and wanted the picture shown off.


He stopped me then refused to smile. I dont understand but he liked it and laughed afterwards.


This guys friends pulled me from the street to take a picture of him. He wouldn't look at the camera but they all cracked up after I took the picture.


This guy was our waiter at one of our favorite places to eat. He definitely had a thing for Ashley though...


These guys were on a trolly that was driving past as we walked down the street. Yet they called out to me and wanted their picture taken. They encouraged me to run and catch up to take their picture. They were cracking up. Yes, I hurried to catch up but anything to bring a smile to their faces.


Happy Valentines Day! This guy was another waiter at a different restaurant but when he saw I had my camera brought me over to their archway to take a picture. When the flash wasn't on, we couldn't see his face so we had to change batteries to get the flash on so we could see him...yet, he still didn't smile. Happy Valentines Day!
