Greetings from India 2

Hi! 
I wrote the first blog post during my mid-day break on day 2.
After my nap, I got out for a stroll in the back alleys and markets near my place.
I thought I would walk winding lanes in the general direction of the New Market and do some shooting there.
After an hour and a half of alleys, I came to a market - but it was the much smaller Entally market, just a few blocks from my airbnb. I had made a circle with all that winding.
Coming back to the hotel after a three hour walk, I still had energy to some photo editing. So the photos you see here is actually a complete edit of yesterday's evening shoot.

Today I slept later than planned, since I was so energized last night I had trouble falling asleep.
I had plans to meet 26 year old street photographer Arnab Mondal at around 1:30 pm. I went by bus and metro to Shobhabazaar some time before and did an hour and a half of streeting before meeting up with Arnab. We had a four walk in the alleys and along the ghats at the Hooghly river. I'll tell the story of me and Arnab's afternoon more in detail at a later date, together with what I captured and some of his shots as well I hope.I had a great time, Arnab is a very nice guy!

Take care everybody!
