Visiting the old town of Aurangabad in central India, July 1985. Indians are very sociable people and like to chat with foreigners.

Hello,
Nice street scene from that spectacular place. I like the contrast between the tourists and the locals. Well observed.
Have a good weekend.

Hello Ingenua,
nice the old shot from 1985 with the tourists to try to chat with the natives perhaps to ask something for their travel way.I like this original street photo with the light and the colour management to be superb.
Regards,Danos

Hi Ingenua
its always a pleasure to view these street scenes and every day life moments from India. There's always something of interest to keep our eyes on. love the blue stall, it looks very funny actually, but in a good way :)
and look at that large stone wall in the bg, tremendous.
funny to see the woman wearing that sun shade hat, she totally stands out as a tourist haha. cheers

Ciao Donato,mi fanno morire dal ridere quelli aprono il commento alle tue foto con "Hello Ingenua"..ahahah...ma veniamo alla foto,sicuramente qualcosa di originale,turisti all'avventura,e a quei tempi non era certo facile come ora,che incontrano la gente locale con uno scenario unico sullo sfondo,davvero una bella composizione ed un'ottima scansione. Buon weekend! Luciano

Hello Donato,
Yes, Indians enjoy to talk to foreign visitors.
Meanwhile, the salesman who's sitting down hopes that someone will buy something after the chat.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ingenua,
There is some similarity between the photographs posted by yourself and those posted by Gert; they are scanned and from the country of India.
I like to be able to see both the people and their environment and this photograph serves both purposes. We can see the contrasts between the tourists and the natives and between this city and a western city. There is so much to observe and enjoy.
Your photograph has good f/g interest from the group whilst the steps act as good lead into the b/g.
It's a fine photograph from your archive. I wonder how much this place will have changed since you were here!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Donato
This sort of street candid - kinda paparazzi adventure shot, always gives such a flavour of the locale with abound of that extra details around to draw the eye. Those characters appear so natural adding life with many a potential story within viewer's mind. About the scorching sun -it's rightly treated with respect here. Excellent grab, Congrats
Best regards

Ciao Donato,
I share my present office at work with an Indian, he is very social indeed. In fact usually we go for lunch together: me, him and one Italian guy.
Fantastic reportage, there are local people, some damaged kiosks and the old town starting just behind.
Great quality, I don't think any of my old photos would look so great here.

Penso che cieli come questo bisogni un po' subirli da quelle parti. Ad ogni modo, è un quadretto eccellente di vita quotidiana, del quale il fotografo con determinazione immediata ha colto la varietà delle posizioni e degli atteggiamenti dei soggetti (ce n'è soli e in compagnia, in piedi o seduti, soli o in compagnia, rivolti verso qui e verso là) e di conseguenza l'equilibrio dell'inquadratura.
