Sorry I haven't been posting lately. It's just been business as usual. This weekend I'm going to another conference, this one a Bahai conference, in Delhi. I'll be back on Monday.
One thing I can't stand about taking photos is the feeling that I'm some kind of uninitiated tacky tourist. I've been here for around eleven months now, and I always feel like a complete idiot when I start taking photos of things I've been looking at for almost a year. What I really need is a large, professional looking camera, a press pass dangling from a lanyard on my neck, and a cameraman following me at my shoulder. They should sell cheap, fake versions of all these things to us poor bloggers who don't want to feel like tourists.

or you could just wear a sand coloured multi pocket vest and everyone would assume you are just some nature photographer, who works with national geographic or something...
you may still need a giant still camera however...
you mean you want to buy a photographer to follow you around? Like a slave?
That sounds kind of like Gwen Stefani and her slave-team of Japanese dancing girls.
Some photographers see themselves as artists, some as journalists, some as historians. Taking photos of India to a photographer would be like writing about it to a writer. Some people write and take photos. You might be one of them.
