Udaipur, India.
That’s right. Born in Kentucky, USA. Surprised the hell out of me.
Me: Grunt (lift camera). Photo. (shake camera)
Him: Nod of head
Me: Snap, click, click, click
Him: Nod of head
Me: Cigarette (actually just lifting the pack)
Him: Where you from?
Me: (surprise, he speaks english) America
Him: No, where at in America (in a deep southern draw)
Me: Philadelphia
Him: Born in Kentucky
Me: No shit…
Damn. It is a small world. India, surprising to say the least.
Never did find out why. Just took it as India. Things happen.
People change. People stay.
I still wonder what he was thinking…
That’s something.
“Made in Kentucky”
Woulda surprised the sh*t outta me too!
WOW, nice story, John!
Yeah, you ain’t kidding.
Thanks IJ
Wow – is that why his hair is so blonde like that? Or is it dyed?
But his skin….
Wow!
That’s awesome. The photo, too. I so can relate to the grunt and shake of the camera gesture, too!
India and its people never fail to amaze anyone. More about India please… 🙂
Ha …thanks TBT. I have so much about India and I’ll start posting more.

Great shot! I think I would have been shocked, too. I lived in KY for years, but never met anyone like that! Wow. Small world. (BTW, I decided to follow your post. I look forward to more great photography.)
Wow, small world indeed. Looking forward to more stories about India 🙂

the dermal lines on his face and body could tell a thousand stories…
