These pictures were taken in New Delhi, India in the Fall of 1994 with a little Olympus point and shoot. They aren't great but they'll give you a glimpse into some of the many wonders of India.Taking these photos in India is what actually got me interested in photography.

| This is a street scene from Noida, a small town outside of New Delhi. You can see some advertising from our fine friends at Pepsi, choice of a third world generation! These Pepsi signs were about as close as I got to the actual soda. The local cola in India is Campa Cola which appears to be a knock-off of Coke in looks but not in taste. I drank my share of Campa Cola because it's just about the only thing you can find. |
