Street Photos in India

Almost every kid I encountered, particularly in more populated areas - which was pretty much everywhere, wanted their photo taken.  "Photo, photo!" they would shout at me.

This was back in the 1980s with film.
I was sort of new to the game of photography at this level.
Thus, I really didn't take enough film.
But I did get lots of portraits of these young people.
And people in general.

Sadly though, I took the negatives to a one hour photo kiosk.
As a result the negs were not processed properly and started to deteriorate very quickly. More recently technology has advance to the point where I can restore images in a way that make them look, well, not plastic. 

I quite liked the trip. I was visiting my father, who was, at the time a doctor in a place called Vridaban.
Near Mathura, about a hundred miles south of Delhi.

The photos here are a few of which I managed to do a bit of editing.

You've never seen such a bunch of happy children. Not everyone is smiling, of course.  But, like anywhere, you start talking to them, they brighten right up.
