The Eyes Have It

Here is one of my photos at the India Festival.

I enlarged her left eye and one can see reflections of me and two other customers. I am the one in the dark blue shirt and blue jeans.


They say the eye is the window to the soul.  It is also a mirror to the observer.

Photos of Phaces

The Viewfinder Challenge for March is "Human Faces".  Since I have no local family to photograph (Elaine is camera-shy), I decided to try for faces of strangers.  There was a India Festival at La Villita yesterday so I went there looking for subjects. I had hopes there would be Sikhs in attendance as the ones in turbans and heavy beards make good photo subjects.  None were there while I was there.  I asked a jewelry vendor and a fashion coordinator to take their pictures and they said OK.  The man actually insisted that I take his photo and asked about my Lumix camera.  On the way from La Villita I saw a musician on a porch so I asked him to take his photo and he said OK also.  Photos follow.
