Hi  Phil,
 I know you're pulling our leg joking. :-)

India has been a country I've always wanted to do an assignment about or on 
some subject, simply because of the people and the mind blowing colours 
every where.

To get there I'd even change my motto... "Real Photographers shoot B&W !" 
:-) You know the rest of it. ;-) But to "Real Photographers shoot colour!" 
;-) A couple of times I've been close while on assignment in other 
countries, but never managed to lock down a second  assignment to get me 
there.

With-in India, as in most countries, there are  subjects you could burn 
hundreds of rolls of colour simply because you'd basically be an idiot to 
shoot B&W. I mean what your subject was. Then another subject... "totally 
B&W.

We have seen some of Tina's beautiful colour photos from  a few years ago 
that are so beautiful one could hardly imagine a shot in B&W. But it would 
be the subject that would dictate B&W or Colour.

Jayanand,
I wouldn't have a problem putting in 18 hour days with so much colourful 
beauty before me. I'm sure for the first couple of days my cameras would be 
smoking in my hands from shooting frames by the thousands. :-)
I'm sure I'd hate myself later during the editing time! :-)

cheers,
ted
