When I got started with photography, I regarded Little India as my training ground of sorts to improve my craft.
Armed with a Yashica GSN (rangefinder for poor people like me), I walked around the streets to talk to people and ask for their permission to take a portrait of them. It was a very rewarding time for me back then as I had learn a lot in terms of approaching your subjects.

My Hasselblad 160mm f/4.8 CB finally arrived last month so I took it out for a walk.
However, I find myself shooting most of the time with my 60mm f/3.5 CF instead. It makes sense, because the 60mm is a 35mm equivalent on a 135mm DSLR and that makes it a really good walk-around lens.
In fact, I used the 60mm for most of my shots in China and the now-sold 150mm occasionally.

I think they were underexposed so I end up not using them for the competition. It was a memorable experience nonetheless. My rules to these contestants were very straight-forward: I do not want to see your teeth in any of my shots (meaning I don't want any of those cheesy Star Search smiley shots lahh). But this contestant (I did not watch Star Search so I don't know his name!) was very comfortable with himself and let out a faint smile despite my instructions. Oh well at least it turned out decent.

All images are unedited except for the last shot. I'm just glad that the images turn out some-what decent even though I did not load my film properly into the magazine. More images after the jump.
