Holy Days India!

India is incredible! The diversity, the colours, the merciless reality. And the absurdity!
You see stuff you wouldn’t have dreamt off.

We have seen many photos from India and it’s hard not falling into a cliché, still there isn’t anything in comparison with the stink of the streets in Varanasi, or the booming beat of a party in Delhi, or walking through the afloat streets of Colcatta.

But if you once have seen middle-class tourist in their winter holidays, everything else seems so surreal.

This absurd event is hard to put into words, so just enjoy the photos.

Life writes the most beautiful comedies!

Holy Days India! from Christopher Bär is now online. Enjoy!

    Agree, some funny, weird moments seen your way, which is great!

    I still dont understand what the fuck makes this sentence “photography series” here? I know it is for google, but are we a football forum, or a photography forum?

  6. Dietmar on March 12, 2009 at 2:07 pm

    Well, if this makes you upset. I deleted it. No problem.

    Nice edit!! It flows well.

    it loads backwards, or did you radically change the order. thoroughly enjoyable series anyway.

  9. Stefan on March 12, 2009 at 6:48 pm

    it does not make me upset, it just sounds totally stupid Dietmar. we are a photography forum… or not?

    thanks for your comments…

    michael, i radically changed the order ;)) the ones i putted on in the workshop weren’t really ordered… this one is a much tighter edit, so the order changed too.

    i like the edit Chris! Good story.

  13. chriisi on March 12, 2009 at 10:40 pm

    cool that you like the edit… i kinda like it too, it’s tight and not too repetive, it doesn’t get to boring.. anyway, i see a story in this theme, but i’m sure i didn’t got it… too plain, too easy, but why not going back, i miss it anyway :D

    yes great series with a wonderful sense of humour…i guess if you stay with photography you’ll find out that with the years you become more and more confident with your results…so take your time…and keep your track.. ;-)

    thank you stefan, very encouraging…! I will stay on photography, at least that’s the plan… gonna be a long way ;)
