This photo was probably the first good 'people shot' I got while I was in India. I took it at
Golconda Fort, a fairly popular domestic tourist attraction for Indians, with not quite so many foreigners present. We had been cruising around the place, and this young woman took a quick interest in my camera. She was separated from her group, so I asked if I could get her picture. She didn't quite understand me, so I gestured with my camera and asked if it was ok. She hesitated, looked back at her group who weren't paying much attention to her, and then smiled... and bobbed her head. I paused for a second.
What the hell does that mean? And that was my first cultural gap experience in photography.
