India has always been my dream land, and when I finally traveled there in March, I was really overwhelmed.
I had my little lomo camera with me, but I tried not to conciously ‘take pictures’ or to capture ‘beautiful images’. I even tried randomly double-exposing frames with some rolls not knowing the outcome. All that I wanted was to keep my feelings and emotions when I was in India alive in the rolls of film that I exposed.

Maika, I am just discovering this photo essay now. A brilliant example that sometimes less is more. Maybe I’ll trade in my d700 for a toy camera…
You took very nice images ! Some of the double exposures are stunning !

I will travel to India as well early next year and will have the same intention as you; “tried not to take beautiful images”. Thanks for the inspirations
