Odisha (Orissa): Street photography and more

Another set of images from Odisha (the name is no longer Orissa)...some front the streets, some from the beaches and some simply of my friends :)


A pandit looking out into the busy bazaar...

Just a man smoking on the road,
I didn't light my cigarette till evening out of Snehal's fear
A very corny looking Oriya movie poster, I loved it :)
Another woman unimpressed with my camera
Mr. Dude actually made me take his picture as he smoked happily
He knew exactly how to pose, even before I took out my camera to click :)
She is lovely...
Some love making on the walls of Konark Sun temple,
this one remained with me long after the trip got over
Muz, Snehal, Kiran and Bhavin attempting to pose like Kiran!
Saajan ki baahon mein -  Sangeeta running into Vijay's arms...
Lovely Snehal :)

Location: Odisha, India

    Greetings and thank you for stopping by our Paree blog!

    I was happy to find your blog, too. You are an excellent photographer and this is a most interesting and delightful series of photos. I can see why, however, the love-making on the wall might stick with you for awhile! ;-)

    @Jacob: Thanks a lot, though the image of the poster is more like potential rape attempt (which is generally hilarious in Hindi movies) than love making :)

    @Kalyan: Thanks a lot man!

    @Georgianna: Thank you so much for your kind comment...

    @journeyphotographic: I am sure they are all real characters, I wish I had their stories as well...

    Yes, exactly. Earlier Chrome & FF both weren't allowing me. :)

    One more question. Any particular reason for not enabling Name/url option?

  49. Siddhartha JoshiAugust 30, 2011 at 11:12 AM

    Well I guess it should allow open IDs...I had kept it a bit restricted only to prevent unnecessary anonymous comments.

    Anyway I have given all access now, of course only on your request :)
