Nidhi, I just LOVE your people portraits!
When I was a child, my dad used to get the "LEICA-magazine" (whatever it was called, I don't remember, it was in the Sixties :roll:...!). Magazines full of very nice photography, with long articles on the side, which I never read, though (I only started reading in 1966...), BUT I enjoyed the photos.
There were photos taken in India, yes, India!, by ... well, how would I remember?, and he also took these very intense photos of children, with all the focus on their eyes, and I was THRILLED, FASCINATED ... I went to those magazines over and again and searched for those photos.
Your photos remind me of those!
