THE PLAN

The plan is old.. at least 5 years old: quit our jobs and travel the world for a while. Each year we postponed it because of other responsibilities and priorities.

Indian wedding

May 12, 2011 – Groom walking in the streets, surrounded by four women busy keeping him at all times under a colored fabric. I wanted to find more about this, but the people around me knew just enough English to confirm that what we were witnessing was a wedding ceremony. Back to “Photo of the day”
